I understand that the document should be for jonny-random-company who just wants to make his (proprietary) Software available to as many Linux users as possible and so he looks for a quick way to create .debs. I doubt these people don't want to look into the Debian Reference (because they don't care for Debian), they want a self-contained HOWTO (yes, some duplication would probably be necessary). Of course, it comes down to the question if 'Debian' wants this or not. I'd be in favor of such a document - although probably many Debian developers won't use such software, many users may want to. And having Debian on the list of supported distributions always sounds fine. (Even if they write Debian and really mean only Debian i386). Visibility doesn't hurt here. cheers -- vbi -- this email is protected by a digital signature: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg NOTE: keyserver bugs! get my key here: https://fortytwo.ch/gpg/92082481
