Please don't call it "Debian packaging HOWTO". I really don't want to
have to deal with people on debian-mentors (our list for newbie
maintainers) who think that building .debs by hand with ar is a good way
to build proper packages.
The changes to the introduction to emphasize this are welcome, but I
really do think it should be clear from the title somehow that this
document isn't what you want if you want to do "normal" or non-trivial
packaging.
(That's why my last suggested title reflected that I think this kind of
thing is really for advanced users only, although the author is coming
at it from the opposite angle. :-))
