Okay, so I went ahead and did this. Now /distrib/ no longer links to the d-i mega-link-collection, and instead it links to those four pages, each of which have their own link collection. It's still fairly consistent, and the number of clicks is the same - maybe a bit more scrolling, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The documentation links are a bit more visible. -- 2.
