Debian packages now split off documentation



The Debian packages for Cedar Backup now split off the documentation
into cedar-backup2-doc rather than putting them in cedar-backup2.  This
makes the software package itself much smaller, for users who don't need
the documentation on every one of their machines.  

This change was prompted by a Debian bug report originally asking me not
to distribute both the HTML and PDF versions of the documentation.  I
rejected this request, under the premise that the two forms of the
documentation are both useful for different purposes (HTML for online
browsing, PDF for printing).  However, I was convinced that it was worth
splitting the documentation off into a separate package so you don't
have to download the documentation if you don't want to.

The upshot is that, after upgrading to 2.7.2-2, you will need to install
cedar-backup2-doc if you still want the documentation on your system.
(It's Recommended, so package managers like aptitude may pull it along
by default.)

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.
