Has anyone seen/checked the layout I left at auric.debian.org
(/home/jfs/doc/) for a new /debian/doc. Even if done manually we could
probably provide a way to avoid 'byhand' entries through the DDP and, at
the same time, including information that is readily available at the web
site but not under the CDs. Byhand entries should be removed for
documentation packages IMHO and we should concentrate on this.

We should have. And this should be our next "moving target".
Hopefully, it will be ready soon (tm).

They probably have too much work already :(
Michael Beattie did not answer to the previous thread even though
he said he would look at it this weekend :((
