Hello Jason and fellow apt developers, a new year has started with hopefully new possiblities. I'll try once again to get in contact with you and get you enthousiastic for the manpage patch(es) that I provided you last month. Any change that the patch will be incorperated into the apt sources being maintained and distributed by you?
It's a pity if the converted documents are not used, I think, as it took a considerable amount of time to have these converted to the xml docbook 4 format.
