I just updated "Debian Reference" CVS to address some of the lack in
tutorial by completely rearranging them.
I did not cut-and-paste contents from debian-guide but influence is
clear :-) Thanks John Goerzen and Ossama Othman.
If there is some more contents needed, please let me know.
My latest draft in HTML output is at:
http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-tutorial.en.html
So I will not oppose removal from package pool for Sarge. I will upload
new version in few days.
