Unless you intend for this to be a reference card that might cover all things Debian (in which case it likely can't both be useful *and* fit on a card), please consider not using such a general name for the package. I'd suggest apt-dpkg-ref or dpkg-apt-ref, or something along those lines. Aside from that, I think it's great idea, and I laud you for making this available. You might consider mentioning dpkg-reconfigure; while not strictly part of either of these tools, it is of obvious utility and may someday become part of dpkg itself. I have also heard more than one person express incredulity that its existence isn't more widely documented. -- G.
