I decided to take a look at bluefish, but, after installing it, I can
not find the docs for it. The manpage is just a single page saying
that it was created for Debian since there was no upstream manpage. There is no documentation in /usr/share/doc/bluefish, or
/usr/share/bluefish. The README says that there should be a manual in
the /doc subdirectory, but I can not find such a subdirectory, or
manual. Is this one of those instances where the developers decided
that it was OK to have the app in Debian, but that the docs were not
acceptable?

That took maybe 20 seconds on google.


Yes, and I already had found that from the Debian page for bluefish. I was referring to documentation residing on my system, not online. Online documentation is a good thing, but if the upstream program is updated, and the documentation along with it, then the docs may no longer apply to the version of bluefish that I have on my system. Since I track Stable it is quite likely that there could be several upstream revisions while I have and older version on my system.

What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later ... boom!
