Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 10:21:48 +0000
I don't think we have what this thread talks about covered in the

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.

> Of course, avoiding PDF/PS/DVI allows us to remove the dependency
> on TeX Live. Last, from discussions I heard at the Reproducible
> Build Summit, I think DVIs and maybe PS/PDFs are not
> bit-reproducible out-of-the-box.
