I would be willing to make a package to provide the packaging manual and the other major debian manuals in SGML form if I might have some help building a list of the documents to provide. (would of course be very simple to build...) and would we want maybe a seperate package for debianmaintainer-doc and debianuser-doc. each could provide the documentation (those listed under the debian documentation page...) in their appropriate categories (maintainer and user...) in various fromats (SGML, TeX, ps, txt, dvi...). what do you think? do I/we need permission to make such a package? if so, from who? etc, etc, etc............. ----- Brought to you by the letters E and K and the number 9.
