Package: debian-handbook
Severity: minor

Hi

When I was reading the book, I came across a 'the' that was doubled up.
Suspecting that there may be other instances lurking, I wrote a script
to try and find them and the diff is the end result.

Regards
Richard

Thanks, merged the patch except for the double "have have" which is
legitimate.
