I think it's your duty to provide good documentation as you know the package 
best. ("Our priorities are our users...") 

Nonetheless I've tried to come up with a patch, though I won't be surprised if 
you don't take it as I might have done mistakes and you know the package much 
better. Then my time would have been wasted (only 5min. but still) - that's 
why I think it's unreasonable to ask users of a software to provide 
documentation fixes.

If those bugs are *important*, then please file them into the BTS! As this 
package is in experimental, of course I have looked into the BTS to see if 
there are important or serious problems. But I found none - should I worry 
now ?

The social contract also states: "we won't hide problems".
