I'm not having problems with reading it.
What size screen are you viewing the site on??
What is your screen resolution??

Because on a site with thousands of pages, maintained by many people,
(new) fangled generators *are* KISS.
Very little of debian.org is "static".

Try:-
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adebian.org
and see how many pages you're suggesting should be "hand-coded", or
whatever non-"fangled" method you suggest.

If most sites require you to resize your browser then the problem is not
most sites. You should only need to resize a page if the site is badly
coded.
Either you can email the entire internet suggesting they recode to suit
your browsing - or consider the possibility the problems sits at your
end of the tubes.

If you have to resize the page such that the searchbox moves from the
right-hand side to the left - then the problem is not the code on
Debian.org - it's your browser/display settings.
Debian.org is an example of how sites should be coded (fluid layout) -
but there's a limit to how "liquid" a layout can be and still have
useful content.

debian_en.css doesn't appear to set any "heights" for those elements.
