Hi Andreas,

actually I'd like ask the same question with you. What are the
requirements to build the debian handbook? Either the output is PDF or
epub.

So I've been using Sid since I found that publican-debian is only
available at Sid. CMIIW.

I haven't successfully build to PDF, but I had success with the epub. My
epub build would in the dir:

/debian-handbook/publish/id-ID/Debian/6.0/epub/debian-handbook/debian-handbook.epub

Please note that currently I'm translating to Indonesian language (id-ID).

Hope this helps :-)
