Unfortunately then there is the problem of upstream documentation and
downstream stable release programs being out of sync with each other.
There would be the potential for bts reports from users saying such
and such a feature is documented (in a later version) but not
implemented (in the stable version).

Would Debian consider creating a web location for web documentation
that matches the Debian releases?  That would solve the issue.  (And
create one of needing to keep the web docs up to date out of band from
package updates.)

Or alternatively create a coreutils-doc-html package so that these can
be locally installed by the end user?  I think that would be better if
the goal is to provide html documentation.  Then updates to it would
occur naturally as the package was updated.  Then something like the
following would provide a browser location for the user.

  file:///usr/share/doc/coreutils/html/index.html

I personally am an info user so take these suggestions as coming from
someone who wouldn't be using the html docs anyway.
