http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/module-curses.html links to
http://docs.python.org/dev/howto/index.htmlcurses/curses.html as "Curses
Programming with Python" but it's 404 Not Found.

It may be that this link is broken in other Python versions, 2.5.2 is
just the one I refer to for Ubuntu 8.04.

This is already fixed in later versions.

Does that mean it's policy not to correct documentation for non-latest
versions?  Fair enough.  But perhaps
http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/about.html should be changed to
reflect that, and likewise on other non-latest versions, e.g. "If the
problem still exists in the latest documentation, please report it".

Yes, we're only maintaining the docs for maintained branches, and 2.5 is
now in security-fix-only status.  I've clarified the "reporting bugs"
document in the current docs now.
