Bug#316487: debian-installer-manual: Missing copyright credit: Karsten M. Self for section C.4
Package: debian-installer-manual
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3
Section C.4 of the Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide is based on notes
I wrote for performing a chroot installation of Debian under an existing
GNU/Linux system.
The current version of the manual has modified this work, but is still
clearly based on the documents I wrote originally in 1999, and further
ammended in 2002 and continue to maintain, with most recent
modifications in May, 2004:
