Well. I'm talking long-time here, I know that now it's going to be
completely changed :)

Ok. Let's not take this to the extreme. You have made your point,
and I respect it. However maybe, just for the sake of translations, you
could sync from time to time to the DDP CVS?

Why not? Whatever non-binary format the documentation is we can
use the CVS to maintain it, make package versions and publish it in the
web server. I don't see your point here. Also note that, IMHO, it is
important for the Debiandoc document to be available in the DDP. Hopefully
I'm not pushing it too far :)
