Jitsi-meet installation breaks on ubuntu minimal

See original GitHub issue

Specifically, installation of the jitsi-meet-web-config dependency breaks with the following error:

cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/doc/jitsi-meet-web-config/config.js': No such file or directory

I understand this is because ubuntu minimal has an apt rule to prevent installation of docs. Failing to install docs should not break installation of the package.

I do not know if this is the correct repo to report this bug; feel free to move it elsewhere if there is a more appropriate location.

The “culprit” in ubuntu minimal is the file /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes; adding path-include=/usr/share/doc/jitsi* to this file is a viable workaround (for anyone running into this same problem looking for a quickfix on their local install).

This was fixed in the latest unstable packages.
