+Currently, builds for the website are triggered automatically when a new
+version of the installation-guide package is uploaded.
+There are separate builds for "testing", "stable", and "oldstable".
+The build for testing is triggered by uploads to unstable, while builds
+for stable and oldstable are triggered by uploads to stable resp. oldstable.

+The checks for new package versions are done by the 'lessoften' script.
This will fetch the source tarball for the new version, extract that and
then calls the build/buildweb.sh script. The latter script uses the same
lists from the debian dir to determine valid architectures and languages.
