ACK
It is certainly the case that their documentation is good, and
although not universally applicable to Debian packages, can be a
decent guide.
FYI, some of us have recently re-started an effort to improve the Debian
Wiki. One of the things we need to establish (IMHO) is to determine what
audience the wiki is *for*. For example, it serves a useful function for
Developers, with clusters of pages for Debconfs, summers of code, etc.,
and well-maintained pages for some developer tools.
It's less clear how useful the current wiki is for users. I think many
of us are inspired by how good the Arch Wiki is for users, and the
Debian wiki falls far short of that. I guess we should try to improve it
for users, but we don't have consensus on exactly how to do that, yet.
Suggestions welcome!
