For now I've put up the current docs in all available languages at
http://people.debian.org/~abe/aptitude/ using "rsync -av
/usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/
people.debian.org:public_html/aptitude/", so we can refer to that for
now where necessary.

No cron-job yet.

As soon as that's fixed and we've got the docs under
http://aptitude.alioth.debian.org/, I'll let
http://people.debian.org/~abe/aptitude/ redirect there.
