Will do for the Jessie update.

Will consider it. :)

I'm not sure what you're suggesting here... possibly that we might want
to stop documenting the fact that /dev/hdX used to be for IDE disks ?

Fixed in wheezy/master, thanks.

That was already fixed in git.

Not really, we start by explaining how rsync can help do backups and then
we introduce a tool that helps you achieve the scheme we just described.
I don't see anything wrong in the progression of the explanation.

Both noted for the jessie update.

It's a combination of both IIRC. The official logo is non-free, thus we
want to replace the logo. However if you replace the logo you no longer
have the right to call it Firefox (due to trademarks). (There are also
other problems with the trademark such as the obligation to get our
changes vetted by Mozilla)

debsums will go away in the jessie update, now we have dpkg --verify
instead.

Thanks for your feedback and your kind words!
