Somebody was complaining that changing the installation-guide was a lot of work, e.g. translations work, and did not want the changes to be made there https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765803#40 I don't mind getting the second part included there instead. > The original source of the release notes is at [2].

I did cut and paste from the web page in iceweasel: https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/ddp/manuals/trunk/release-notes/en/issues.dbk?view=markup&pathrev=10511 That's where the line numbers came from. I should have downloaded the page and edited that one instead. > [2] https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/ddp/manuals/trunk/release-notes/ > > [3] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/jcristau/release-notes.git/ > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
