Hi,

 It's a vicious circle: the actual document can't be the official
 reference in its current state, so you don't want a package /
 debian.org web page / BTS entry for the document, so the documentation
 can't be corrected easily etc.  (Sorry if I misunderstood some parts of
 the discussion).

 I feel documentation lacks in this domain, and this documentation is
 better than nothing.  I agree it might be wrong on some points (or so I
 was told), and I propose that this guide should start with a warning
 that is is currently worked on, and did not reach an official state
 yet (something like "BETA" in red in the name should do).

 Would this documentation with a warning it's still beta be acceptable
 to enter the archive and be linked to in the devel/ section?
   This might allow others to contribute to the doc constructively by
 submitting patches, or filing bugs on the various topics that might be
 discussed.

   Bye,
