I don't have a good answer to your questions, I'm afraid, but one of the
problems I see in the world of GNU/Linux is this tendency to have
"per-distribution" documentation for thing which are not specific to
a distribution, as evidenced by the fact that Debian users often find
the Arch wiki useful.
I wish the Arch wiki and Debian wiki (and others, obviously) could
*share* their effort somehow.
