The very first thing, IMHO, would be to switch to "liquid" design, beginning
with removing all <table> tags not used to show tabular data.
If I have some spare time, which should not happen before next month, I'll
begin to work on such changes. I don't know how content and presentation are
separated in Debian's web site backend, nor how difficult such changes would
be, but it is not something that can be done without preparing and discussing
it first, and maybe changing both back and front ends.
I must admit I wanted to wait before launching such discussions, but John and
Robin's mails forced me to wear my web standards evangelist hat ;)
