 Severity:  normal   |    Keywords:

 While reviewing the the ipython source to update the Debian package to the
 latest version I stumbled upon the following problems:[[BR]]
 - the tarball doesn't contain the source of the documentation, which is a
 violation of the Debian Free Software Guidelines[[BR]]
 - the generated html source was created with a non-free tool (latex2html),
 so even if the documentation source would be included, we couldn't ship
 it. Please consider building the html files using plastex
 http://plastex.sourceforge.net/ instead of latex2html.

 While the second point is not such a big problem, the missing source of
 the documentation forces me to remove the full manual from the package. If
 you're not willing to ship the sources with the tarball, I have to start
 building out own tarballs from svn, something I'd really like to avoid. In
 the meantime the manual will be removed.
