Coin,

First, as you can see Rtp and I are upstream for the main
documentation. You made a fork of it in 0.4.37 without even mailing us
about it. I'm still taking care of the documentation while you are
clearly not doing it seriously. You may wish to have different phrasing
and presentation, but the core feature of this documentation is to give
users knowledge about available features, pitfalls and give good hints,
what seems not to be your goal. I'm currently fixing things in the
original documentation and your version is not even synchronized with
0.4.33 changes (changes you made yourself and should be aware of).

What do you have in mind man ? Do you really want to live alone and do
everything by yourself ? Why are you not working for your peter-specific
distro ? Neither do you know how collaborative maintenance works (look !
i'm still in Uploaders' field), nor how to maintain a good relationship
with upstream to incorporate your changes (NO, the CDBS sources are
still not the official place to find the documentation sources).

With this very bad start, i'm really afraid i won't do anything more for
the CDBS package, you can then remove me from the Uploaders' field in
the next upload. I'm still maintaining the original documentation for my
own sake and some other people willing to have a serious documentation,
then feel free to merge, it's Free after all.

/me really feels disgusted...
