The =E2=80=9CDefining Packages=E2=80=9D section is meant to be some sort of=
 a =E2=80=9Cgetting
started=E2=80=9D section for packagers, with cross-references to various mo=
re
in-depth sections.

IMO it would be ideal to fix it to actually fulfill that goal.  So I
hereby solicit patches that go in that direction!  :-)
