For now I've put up the current docs in all available languages at http://people.debian.org/~abe/aptitude/ using "rsync -av /usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/ people.debian.org:public_html/aptitude/", so we can refer to that for now where necessary. > For example I imagine a (maybe weekly) cron job which checks for the > latest aptitude version in Sid, and if that one is newer than the > previous one, it fetches the aptitude-doc-* packages and extracts the > relevant parts to the http://aptitude.alioth.debian.org/ web.

As soon as that's fixed and we've got the docs under http://aptitude.alioth.debian.org/, I'll let http://people.debian.org/~abe/aptitude/ redirect there.
