I think it is great that we have a limited number of 'canonical' documentation so that we have a central place to send people and so that we can all work on making those central docs definitive and understandable. 

Is it then considered this way;

	1. http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging			Quick Start	
	2. http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging%2C_Deploying_and_Distributing
											Complete Maemo Guide
	3. http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/	Authoritative Source

If this is the way we are seeing it, I can then direct people to those documents and focus my energies there making sure they are up-to-date and complete.
