I've re-thought my response here. The terseness of debian-reference is one of its features and how terse it should be can only be determined by its maintainer. Perhaps one of its jobs is not to make up for user misunderstandings or the deficiences of official documentation. So I'll just hope for a change in the latter. Thanks for considering. Cheers, Brian.
