Is it important to state whether a piece of documentation belongs to the
Debian Documentation Project or not? I think yes (I'm not part of DDP,
though...), and I think it's better to create a new section than
removing the "DDP" part of the title in "user-manuals" and add the
handbook there.

Any other opinion?

I would update the entry of books, to reference the page/section where
we finally add the Handbook.

Thanks
