Hi,

I have som general small updates to the english documentation and doc-check. 
The attached patch changes som "Debian GNU/Linux" to &debian; and som "no" 
and "yes" to &MSG-NO; and &MSG-YES;, so they get correctly replaced by 
localised strings when translated.

Also, I created two new entities in defaults.ent:

 &num-of-debian-developers; - the current number of developers. I raised the
                        number from 500 to 800, as claimed on www.debian.org.
 
 &setlang-language-code-list; - the available language codes for the setlang
                        utility. (appearing in inst-methods.sgml)
    I defined it as (including the brand new catalan support):
    "ca cs da de eo es fi fr gl hr hu it ko ja pl pt ru sk sv tr zh_CN"
