I'm in whole-hearted agreement with any effort to document and provide a manual page for every package in the repository, and in particular, for oem-config in particular. However, I'm not sure the reason for the two attachments sjolle uploaded.

The packages in the "Dependencies.txt" file SHOULD NOT be the dependencies of oem-config, because it would break any OEM configuration that wasn't the same as listed. Inasmuch as the whole point of the oem-config package is to enable custom configurations, the dependency list should be kept to an absolute minimum necessary for the oem-config package to run successfully.

The "OemConfigLog.gz" file seems not to have relevance to documentation at all.

Happy Trails,

The attachments are just the result of using the ubuntu-bug program to report this bug (generally a good idea, even if in this case it produces some extra stuff you have to ignore). Pay no attention to them.

This bug was fixed in the package oem-config - 1.54.2

---------------
oem-config (1.54.2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Add a debconf_ui frontend which can be used in text mode on a server.
    This is still experimental; in particular, setting the language does not
    yet take effect until after oem-config exits.
  * Adjust for changes in tzsetup 1:0.24ubuntu1.
  * Add experimental --cdebconf option.
  * Use spaces rather than ${!TAB} in localechooser, since debconf doesn't
    support the latter yet.
  * Add manual pages for all programs (LP: #274048).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: console-setup 1.28ubuntu4,
    tzsetup 1:0.24ubuntu1, user-setup 1.23ubuntu3.
