This bug pertains to xubuntu-docs 9.10.1 in Xubuntu 10.04 also and the fix for this bug could also be applied to xubuntu-docs 9.10.1. Should I apply a Lucid to this bug? Should I file another bug report specific to xubuntu-docs 9.10.1, or when I push the commit to fix the bug in xubuntu-docs 9.10.1, should I reference this bug #?

I'm aware that fixes for already released packages would have to go thru SRU review, if I recall correctly.

Verified the xubuntu-docs are now correct in 10.04.1, using a fresh installation in VirtualBox, fully updated before enabling proposed. Thanks for the hard work getting this done.
