"If you are a competent and
accurate writer and are willing to spend the time reading
the source code and writing good manpages please write a
better man page than this one. Please contact the package
maintainer in order to avoid several people working on the
same manpage."
Well it encourages users to write manpages and send them
to the maintainer. An additional explanation on that "official"
sentence would be fine, but we need a consensus on
which name to use. some ideas:
...for the Debian project?
...for the Debian system?
...for the Debian GNU/* system?
...for the Debian/GNU system?
...for the Debian GNU system?

IMHO the manpages package is so linux specific that cannot be
used for the HURD, or at most it needs to be splitted.
