I investigated the problem: there is an assembly part that gets linked
into the library that causes it, I don't think there can done anything
to it.
> W: pari-devel no-documentation
I don't think splitting documentation makes much sense here.

Ok.

AFAIS, dvi files are present for the entire documentation (users.tex is split
into several .tex files). The dvi files are shown by invoking gp's help
function. However probably the tex files and Makefile etc... are not needed
and may be left out.

Ok.

> - any particular reason to use perl instead of sed?
I normally use perl, sed would work too, of course. Both of them
are implicitly present without requiring them.
