If we do have though, consider this bug obsolete.

Not the same message, but in the thread:

>     What about installing only HTML?

>     I find that HTML (and Info, and man) is more convenient to read on-line
>     than PDFs.  We rarely include PDF documentation in packages.

>     bit-reproducible out-of-the-box.
