Package: gcc-doc
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I can't find the gcc(1) manual page.  It used to be in the gcc-doc
package, AFAIR.  However, I can't find that package.

It appears to be in the contrib component. See:

 https://packages.debian.org/sid/gcc-doc
 https://pkginfo.devuan.org/gcc-doc

Have you got contrib enabled in your sources.list?
