Indeed. I've started writing a dpkg reference manual that will replace
the packaging manual. It's going to be a completely new document though
that includes the info from the packaging manual, and until I have that
reasonably complete I would like to keep the current packaging manual
around.

I'll upload a new version with a changed maintainer field tomorrow
for the meantime.
