Dear Martin,
thanks for your input.
The installation guide is packaged, so you can make your suggestion and send
a patch through a bug report against the "installation-guide" package (which
will be received on the "debian-boot" mailing list).
As you figured out by yourself, the "debian-arm" mailing list is also a good
place for discussing the additions that you propose.
Have a nice week-end,
