Status update:

1.
I have reduced the build chain to only build one generic arch-independent
variant of r-n, for all languages. It has all the content, and it's just named
	"Release Notes for Debian 12 (bookworm)"
no longer mentioning any arch name in the title, and without any arch-name
reference in the whole document.

Note: If we decide to go with such approach, the website would need an 
overhaul because of this!!!


2. 
I added some sort of a basic-level draft mode:
Sphinx does not have support for a watermark, as dblatex had (at least not 
in the sphinx version/packages we have in Debian; there is a contrib
extension 'sphinxmark' which does that, but that's not available in
Sphinx mainstream).

So I have just added a bold 
	"DRAFT MODE - in development for the next release"
on the html index page.

Maybe someone has better ideas?
AFAICS we could go forward with this via using a different html layout
template, or using a different theme, but I could not get that running.


The current version can still be found at
https://people.debian.org/~holgerw/release-notes_sphinx
for all languages and in html|text|pdf
(or grab the results from Salsa's CI at
https://salsa.debian.org/holgerw/release-notes/-/pipelines
which builds fine now.)
