The creation of this pdf is based on the content of a database.
It is not possible to include this into the Makefile to create
translated WML pages.

This can be created using the data file available at
http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/200808_med/debian_med_stats.dat
using the script

The graphs are not created using UDD but a separate database inspecting
Debian Mailing list. I could provide the code which creates the
