Yes, we can. (Obama's style is not intended :-)
But :
1/ apt-howto package has been removed from the archiven, because the
author considers the Debian reference as a better replacment (see
#493787), so only the etch package can be used.
2/ that *were* binary packages, since there is one binary per
language.
Should we :
1/ syncrhonize the last version of apt-howto, on the website, and mark
it as deprecated ?
2/ delete it from the website ?
Feedback appreciated.
