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.
