By waiting for upstream to release a new version. We have already
enough work to do with the Debian packaging, identifying the LaTeX
packages responsible for bugs that users report, contacting the
maintainers etc. In some cases where the maintainers were MIA, we even
helped to find a new person. But we really have no time to improve the
documentation texts. If the documentation is under a DFSG-free license,
the (new) maintainer is the person to do that.
