You're totally right, of course. At the moment, the upstream infrastructure doesn't really allow for this to happen, as far as I can see, but I know this is something they are interested in. One thing that we could do would be to interrelate a lot more with the upstream stuff, such as providing links in our guides to the program manuals and so on. The downside of doing that would be that we'd have to stop putting the guides on the web, because those links wouldn't work. either that, or maintain two copies of stuff, one for the distro, and one for the web.
