I would go further then just calling it 'low quality'; it's so bad it
should not be shipped in a stable release IMO.

I started filing a bug against ``apt`` which NEWS item refered me to
``man secure-apt`` which lead to Debian Security Infrastructure
(https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-manual/ch07) and I
was pretty shocked with what I found there.
The apt package has been deprecating several things ... while this
package and https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-manual/
are telling users to use the deprecated stuff, but no word on the
non-deprecated stuff.

In that bug report I ended up not sending when I found the bugs for this
package, which kind of, but IMO mildly, describe the problem, I had a
line which basically said "I doubt anyone even read the contents for
decades" ... you know with footnote 54 saying "the stable, sarge,
release" ... and several references to 2001 and 2002 ... SMH.

IMO having NO information, especially as official Debian documention, is
a LOT better then providing this ....
