I suggest that there should be a standard format warning within the
document itself, so that it stays with the docoment even if it is printed.
For example, just below the title:
+------------------------------------------------------------+
| Deprecated! |
| This document contains dated and incorrect information. |
| Use it for research into Debian's past, only. |
| Debian docs maintainer |
+------------------------------------------------------------+
If the addition of something such as this mucks up the pagination in
the document, so be it. The person who wants a pretty printed copy
can remove the warning if he really wants to.
With such a warning inserted into the document, it should not be
necessary to hide the document in a special place.
