What I said was a comment w.r.t. bsd's manpages are core to their system. As in, since we have snapshot.debian.org can we not use that platform to extract and serve useful stuff over http directly / easily viewable, e.g. manpages using ubuntu's or some other code. And/or possibly change logs / news files, etc. As in, snapshot.debian.org is just as central to debian infrastructure as things bsd has in place. -- Regards, Dmitrijs.
