+ take a couple of weeks
+ * Sec. "Overview of Debian Maintainer Tools": give credit where credit
+ is due and attribute current maintainers; add `apt'; add `quinn-diff';
+ add mention of as yet unreleased 'buildd' package, since I'm so
+ excited about it and can't wait
+ * Sec. "Removing packages": talk about how apt-cache can be used to look
+ at reverse depends, a good step to take prior to removing a package
+ from the archive
+ * show *full* TOC, including sect2
+ * of course the obligatory typo, grammar, and spelling corrections
+
+ * Makefile: small changes to accomodate DDP autobuild
+ * debian/dirs: obsolete, removed
+ * debian/rules: use changelog date for SGML timestamping, not current date

+ debiandoc-sgml doesn't like it (bug filed against debiandoc-sgml)
* debian/rules: cosmetic cleanups, loosen check for root
* debian/rules: build PostScript version during build, since it's nice
to have all my debiandoc2* scripts together
* "Interim releases": if you NMU a new upstream version (0.1), run
'dpkg-buildpackage -sa'
