Description David Cook 2022-03-31 23:42:33 UTC 
If you look in /usr/share/doc/koha-common, you'll only see release notes for Koha 3.x

It looks like it's because of the following line in the debian/ packaging instructions:

debian/koha-common.docs:misc/release_notes/release_notes_3*.txt
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2023-08-04 19:13:57 UTC 
Could someone check on a package installation if this is still true?

I realize this bug is much newer than bug 7750 which mentioned it for the first time.

100% still true for on a 22.11 install. They're totally missing from koha-testing-docker but that looks unrelated.

The reason is the following:

grep -R "release_notes" debian/*
debian/koha-common.docs:misc/release_notes/release_notes_3*.txt
debian/koha-core.docs:misc/release_notes/release_notes_3*.txt
Comment 4 David Cook 2023-08-06 23:24:55 UTC 
It would be an easy fix. It's just super low on the priority list.
