Bug#53330: acknowledged by developer (Fromatting problem with pdf for Installing Debian)

I can confirm this problem is now fixed (and probably has been for awhile, judging from other versions of the docs I've seen). I wanted to reproduce the exact conditions that led to the original problem. I have, and it's gone.
It couldn't have been anything to do with my tetex setup--it was what the install docs look like to someone downloading them I was describing--no debian system on my end (at the time).

I don't know.  It might even be your TeX configuration.

For one, I can't reproduce a single one of these problems.

For two, they would be bugs in tetex-* or debiandoc-sgml, not
boot-floppies.   I'm closing this bug.
