Fine with me, but apparently (according to Lucas) this maybe is not
true anymore? Could you provide a current link, valid for D-I?
Currently this chapter is broken, it states:

An interesting system is provided by doc-check in the boot-floppies package ...

This is clearly outdated. Given that the reference is much broader,
such left over use might not be worth mentioning it here?

Sorry, I could not find this paragraph in chapter 6 of the developer
refererence - where did you add it? I think such content would be
highly desirable here.
