It's not as much as you presume. And even then, a quick approval might
break some of the subpages easily too, so it's not that big of a gain to
change in one direction now (and get complaints about some sub pages)
and later change again - I don't believe in regular changes, it would
confuse even more.

See above - it's not only the entry page - which has a different layout
than most other pages anyway - it's also about subpages and how they
could go with the flow.
Also, Kalle's proposal doesn't only cover the main website but has
created a thoughtful suggestion that works for other parts of the Debian
web presence. This is why I am especially convinced that that's the
path to pursue and that's why I do it. Just take a look at
<http://git.deb.at/> to see another approach of it, or (with great
thanks to Martin Zobel-Heals!) see <http://lists.deb.at/>.
Thanks for your effort and suggestions anyway!
