The "website" is a wiki site edited by many people over a longer time 
period. If you found points you disagree with I'd love to see a comment 
added.

I for example don't know either SCons or Waf. Maybe the information in our 
UpstreamGuide is not up to date anymore.

Have you found more issues with the text? It would be interesting for us to 
listen to the opinions of non-debian members.
