Internationalisation and po-debconf support. Unfortunately this would require
merging <span class="emphasis"><em>Abstract</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>Title</em></span> fields
into one <span class="emphasis"><em>Description</em></span> field. See <a class="ulink" href="http://bugs.debian.org/171373" target="_top">Bug#171363</a>, <a class="ulink" href="http://bugs.debian.org/171375" target="_top">Bug#171375</a>, and <a class="ulink" href="http://bugs.debian.org/171378" target="_top">Bug#171378</a>.

Introduce some new fields, like <span class="emphasis"><em>Package</em></span> (<a class="ulink" href="http://bugs.debian.org/71955" target="_top">Bug#71955</a>), or
<span class="emphasis"><em>SortSkip</em></span> (<a class="ulink" href="http://bugs.debian.org/187590" target="_top">Bug#187590</a>).

It is <span class="emphasis"><em>extremely</em></span> difficult to deal coherently with a
misnamed control file, or a mismatch between a control file and the document
field. This hit me in the transition between <code class="systemitem">doc-base</code> 0.4 to 0.5 (in 0.4 I had added, in a file
install-docs-man, a document ID named install-doc-man). Something needs to be
done about that.

Automated format conversion, including user preferences. (For example, convert
texinfo source to GNU info or PostScript, optionally compress or remove HTML
manuals which are also available in GNU info format, etc. etc.)
