One more comment on this.

As everyone agrres, I hope, DDP documents has different maturity levels.

I think we should basically include and index ones already listed in
http://www.debian.org/doc/.

   Users' manuals                          Developers' manuals

     * Debian GNU/Linux FAQ                  * Debian Policy Manual
     * Debian Installation Manual            * Debian Developer's Reference
     * Debian Release Notes                  * Debian New Maintainers' Guide
     * Debian Reference                      * dpkg Internals Manual
     * APT HOWTO                             * Debian Menu System
     * dselect Documentation for Beginners   * Introduction to i18n
     * User's Guide
     * Debian Guide                        Miscellaneous manuals
     * The Debian Linux User's Guide
     * Euro support in Debian GNU/Linux      * Debian Project History
     * Debian GNU/Linux and Java FAQ         * Linux Magazines
     * Securing Debian Manual                * Debiandoc-SGML Markup Manual
                                             * Debian SGML/XML HOWTO


We can add new French only manual and few good ones , but including
totally outdated ones does not serve our audience.  Maybe, from your
script perspective, having exclusion list may be something you may want
to consider :)
