This is wrongly named.  It is actually the Debian Tutorial, and it
supersedes the Debian User Manual on the DDP pages.  The Debian User
Manual is supposed to be split up into other sections, but that has
not yet been done.

Havoc Pennington started to write stuff for the Debian User Manual, but it
turned into the Debian Tutorial.  The Tutorial pages are under his
directory.
