Hi, Sure thing Sam! I am not expert on all things packaging, but I have a cheat sheet, and will give you the pointers that I know. Packaging a document is very simple, and will be very easy to teach you! I suppose we could post a reformatted version of my bzr cheat sheet on our new website...
Actually... We could even make a technical documentation package. If you are interested and include a short tutorial on packaging. We could even pull in some of the programming reference manuals and include a desktop file pointing to them for easy way to find them. I would be willing to work on this eventually, though I would not make a LaTeX document, as I do not have time to learn that right now.
