Yes, as I said, I've since found them. However, before this week I was
looking in manual pages and local documentation in preference to the
Debian website. Call me old-fashioned if you will, but the high cost of
bandwidth in this part of the world means that I tend to look on my own
machine before getting online.

On my system it seems to be /usr/doc/debian, and the FAQ's date is 25th
Jan 1999. Not sure why that is... I've certainly done a dist-upgrade in
the recent past. *shrug* Having updated it, I agree that there is
indeed a valid pointer to the appropriate docco in the FAQ, and apologise
for not having searched more rigorously before posting.

By making the dpkg/dpkg-deb manual pages mention them in the "see also"
section, as I mentioned :) It's a small thing, but it would have helped
at least one person, i.e. me.
