Yes, I object. First of all, isn't quilt a bit overkill just to build
packages with a static set of patches?
Then, if you insist on using quilt, you still don't need the
documentation to build packages, do you? So, just make two separate
quilt packages, quilt and quilt-doc, and you're done. No need to
reformat an otherwise very good looking documentation.
Thanks,
