Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

Under the "Backport Process" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports it tells us to use prevu to build packages. The prevu package is broken and fails to build packages. I found an expired bug report that suggested a fix...

Under the "Useful Links" section it has a link to a "Backports Forum" at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=47 where it has a sticky thread at the top telling us to use prevu, the broken package. I wrote the author of prevu, also the author of the sticky thread, and he hasn't responded.

It would save some frustration and not waste people's time showing them how to build packages with something that works!
