I think that what Frans was trying to say was that we've been aware of these issues with the manual for some time and have been working on splitting it out of the d-i package since before Oldenburg. So more talk about it, let alone large quantities of bile and flames are just useless noise that this list doesn't need.

That's never been a very viable option since the debian-installer-manual is not arch indep and served the dual purpose of keeping the buildds happily building the non-deb parts of d-i. -- see shy jo
