Yes, crap! The changes mostly consisted of nitpicks, changed wordings,
removed spaces, expanded sentences and a few additions. These really
should have been committed to the CVS tree. He included the Debian
Manifesto from Ian Murdock as appendix. In general that document was
at least as outdated as the CVS version, I've taken over maintainership
by now.
I have incorporated all changes and also included the Manifesto as a
chapter of its own and committed it back to the CVS. I've also changed
the author to 'Debian Documentation Team' and set me as maintainer, since
it's not a single person author of it, change it if you have a better
idea. In a couple of hours you should be able to view it on the web.
