commit f3e3e8a893beb649c6c9982da2fe68e2d8172885
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>

    Update "Generating orig tarball from newer upstream" for removal of genorig.py
    
    In unstable, genorig.py has been removed since uscan can now do its
    job.  Since this section is about switching to a new upstream version,
    it doesn't need to cover older releases, so replace the old text about
    genorig.py with instructions for using uscan.

    Merge branch 'disable-debug-info' into 'master'
    
    Disable dwarf toolchain default to really disable debug info
    
    See merge request kernel-team/kernel-handbook!8

commit e5f0dc914c4c34d2be7fcbb361b5c660b2725741
Author: Emanuele Rocca <ema@debian.org>
Date:   Mon May 6 14:29:03 2024 +0200

    Disable dwarf toolchain default to really disable debug info
    
    In order to build a kernel without debug information, it is not sufficient to
    just disable DEBUG_INFO. The setting DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT needs
    to be disabled as well, or `make oldconfig` will re-enable DEBUG_INFO.

    See merge request kernel-team/kernel-handbook!6

commit 96484534a4e1c17e6e926b17c0b3b1ac12edf461
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>

    Use Debian-style navigation header and footer instead of standard DocBook ones
    
    In the header, drop the Prev/Next links and put:
    
    - Debian logo
    - Link to kernel team page
    - "Breadcrumbs" for the handbook
    
    all with the appropriate classes for the Debian stylesheet.
    
    In the footer:
    
    - Keep the Prev / Home / Next links in the footer
    - Since there isn't any provision in the Debian stylesheet for navigation
      across multiple chapters, add our own rules for them
    - Use flexbox instead of a table for layout

commit 88fa33d2e940f20585d3871101c1ce1beaa3f2c5

    Add/override some stylesheet rules to work better for DocBook-generated HTML

commit 5a73950758a42a68d21bc3367fb7bace4b0679e5
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Jun 26 19:52:06 2023 +0200

    stylesheet.xsl: Use namespaced tags to allow embedding un-namespaced HTML
    
    I will need to override some rules here to fully implement the Debian
    style, which requires writing (X)HTML without a namespace.  Assign
    the XSL DTD to the "xsl" namespace instead of the default namespace
    and change tags accordingly.

commit 1e365d377ae53a99bada98be63115e0a77a7bc5c
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Jun 26 18:07:47 2023 +0200

    Add and apply Debian stylesheet to HTML output
    
    Also add the images it references, which we may want to use.

commit 03af1eb9938df815ab46fd6d59d5e5d612216444

    Just link to the GNU GPL without mentioning a filename or mailing address
    
    This turns into a web page so it's fairly silly to suggest the other
    options.  We will need to mention some other licenses and I want to
    keep this brief.
