Comment (by anarcat):

 >  ISTR that our documentation here is derived from Debian; if that's
 correct, we should first check whether there are any updates in the
 documentation in Debian that we can upstream. After we're done with this,
 we should see whether the upstream maintainers would like to take our
 improved documentation.

 I misunderstood gk's comments: i thought they were about the wiki
 documentation. But they are, as you said, about the db.tpo HTML docs,
 which *are* indeed from upstream Debian.

 They are provided by the userdir-ldap-cgi package, which we get from
 Debian as well, so any changes we do there *must* be provided back
 upstream anyways otherwise they will be lost on the next import.

 I'll see if I can sort this out. Good thing that weasel just upgraded this
 host to the latest upstream, it will make my job easier. :)
