Dear David, I seem to have missed something. I'm the original author of the document and, for quite a long time in the past, its sole maintainer. I always believed the java-common package contained a *copy* of the DDP document. If you take a look at https://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#java-faq, you will see that the DDP version is the one pointed to for this documents' sources. The document itself at https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ doesn't point otherwise. As you can see in other past bugs (such as #449282) the java-common was in the past manually updated from the DDP when required. I don't recall being notified (by java-common maintainers or anyone else up to now) that the java-common version was to be considered the "upstream version" now. Unfortunately, it seems that the new maintainers have taken the java-common version as "upstream" and made changes there. Since I see that the SGML version in java-common contains some changes not available in the DDP. There seems to have been a comunication error somewhere. Anyway, I will contact them and suggest doing the following: 0.- We should sync both versions (DDP and java-common). I've made extensive changes to the DDP version to allow for translations using PO files which, I believe, are quite useful. 1.- the java-common package should just copy the contents from the DDP and include *there* a README indicating that the java-faq sources are in the DDP. This should also be stated in the document. 2.- the java-common should be updated with whatever is in the DDP. Note: It is my current understanding that the contents from https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ are generated based on the java-common package nowadays. Is this correct? Best regards Javier
