Package: debian-installation-manual
Version: N/A
Severity: wishlist

Since it is possible to run debian installer at different debconf severity 
levels (and make versions of d-i that run in those levels by defaults) it 
would be cool if the debian-installation-manual was structured in such a way 
that you could build different guides for the different levels. This way a 
user at less than priority low could follow the install and not be confused by 
explainations of questions they aren't being asked.

Ideally there would be a way to tag things in the XML to do this, but if 
something like that isn't possible then the document _could_ be restructured 
to separate sections and then have a Makefile sort it all out.

This would be cool but would probably take some work both initially and 
on-going as the manual was maintained. Filing at severity wishlist.

Thanks,
