Word? The HTML? The PDF itself? In that case, the Word .doc format would be the source form. And (assuming that the document is released in a DFSG-free manner) it would be distributable in main, as long as it is readable and modifiable with a tools in main (OpenOffice.org, for instance) and the PDF is regenerated with one such tool. Otherwise it would go in contrib (as it would Build-Depend on out-of-main components). -- But it is also tradition that times *must* and always do change, my friend. -- from _Coming to America_ .....................................................
