Bug#441887: www.debian.org: APT-HOWTO is out of date
Could you, please, provide links to replacements from the headers of corresponding sections? The documentation is still available from the web, and its (Obsolete Documentation) confuses people without providing any hints where to look for updated information. For example, the HOW-TO its the top link for me when I search build debian package from source. Unlike other manuals this one is concise and goes straight to the point. Maybe migrate some pages to Wiki? -- anatoly t. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-www-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Any of those work for me. I would suggest not doing a lot of work to sync apt-howto from svn or anything like that, since it is now unmaintained and has better replacements.
