I am flattered. But authoritative name such as "Debian Reference" bears
big responsibility. (I am scared.) If no one objects, I will change
its title as you indicated or to the any good alternative name before
asking some one to package this as .deb for Debian.
After all, Josip, you are a doc-debian package other key documentation
maintainer.

"Jul 9 1998" (For English original) I hardly call it "updated".

That is true. But only if updated :)

In plain words of a non-native person, this is simply "Introduction to
the Debian Documentation".

I agree. http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp should not contain direct links
to these but just a single link to the archived document lists.
