I wonder if we could accommodate both categories of Debian Policy readers instead of dropping support for more experienced readers? I propose to do it by placing both versions of the document into the same directory and then setting the DocumentIndex Apache configuration option to prefer the single page document over the multi-page one. The advantage of this is that we accommodate folks who prefer the existing multi-page document and no existing URL will break but that by default new users will get the single-page version. The only problem with this is #877573 but that also affects offline readers of Debian Policy anyway so it needs to be fixed anyway. I have verified with diffoscope that the _static and _images directories are identical between the two documents. If there are no objections to this then I can do the changes needed. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
