Thanks for removing those wiki pages, I guess you've already met Jorge's
quota for this cycle ;)

As soon as Jorge issued his challenge, I knew I'd have no trouble meeting it
this cycle! :)

 This is now done.  When Daniel gets a permanent URL for the docs, I will of
 course update the links.  Here's the current URL:
 
 http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/knowledge-base.html
 
 This also means that if you want to make changes to the docs, you should
 branch the UPG's trunk and do a merge proposal.  The trunk is at
 
 lp:ubuntu-packaging-guide

 Any other suggestions for improving, reorganizing, or expanding on the
 UDD bits of the packaging guide documentation are welcome!
What releases of Ubuntu is the packaging guide aimed at? There are some
things in the documentation that are available in reasonably new
versions (Maverick, Natty) but the packaging guide still describes
alternatives for older releases.

Yep, and I'd like to phase those out.  My own preference would be to target at
least Natty for now because I think this was the first cycle where serious
development could be done with UDD.  Perhaps once 12.04 is out, we should
target the LTS and relegate alternatives to an older distroseries section.

David Planella, Jono Bacon and I agreed that we might put it up at
developer.u.c some time this cycle. I'll keep you in the loop about when
this happens.

 I just submitted a merge proposal for the one small bit of information that I
 found in the wiki, but not in the reST docs:
 
 http://tinyurl.com/44b8pms

Merged.

Thanks everyone for your work on this!

Have a great day,
 Daniel
