I've noticed that a lot of content has been introduced without using the 
<prgn>, <package> or <file> tags whenever that's relevant.

For example:

        To get the installer to load the firmware, one has to have network
        connectivity while the machine is being installed in order to
        download the firmware-qlogic udeb package with wget, install it
        with udpkg, and then reload the qla2xxx module.
        After the installation is complete, mount the new root partition,
        chroot to it, fetch the firmware-qlogic deb package, install it
        with dpkg, and then run update-initramfs in order to include it
        in the initial ramdisk image used by the kernel.</p>

Should probably be:

        To get the installer to load the firmware, one has to have network
        connectivity while the machine is being installed in order to
        download the <package/firmware-qlogic/ udeb package with wget, install it
        with <prgn/udpkg/, and then reload the qla2xxx module.
        After the installation is complete, mount the new root partition,
        <prgn/chroot/ to it, fetch the <package/firmware-qlogic/ deb package, install it
        with <prgn/dpkg/, and then run <prgn/update-initramfs/ in order to include it
        in the initial ramdisk image used by the kernel.</p>

I've also noticed that some content is quite technical and does not provide
any reasonable information for novice users/administrators. For example, the tulip/dmfe
issue asks users to 'blacklist' the dmfe module. Taking into consideration
that the use of udev is new in the release there should be some minimal
information on how to blacklist modules in udev or, at the very least, a
pointer to wherever this information is.
