Have inquired of upstream about obtaining a newer snapshot of the HwB  
site (now at http://www.hardwarebook.info) that could be packaged   
for Debian.   Awaiting response.

No response to the inquiry about something newer to package.   Will  
see about completing the ITA, & do any content updating later.

Hi again,

if upstream is missing, shouldn't we rather remove the whole package?
Outdated hardware documentation isn't really useful...

    Note that an updated package closing the bug has been available  
at http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/h/hwb since last  
year.  It's been looked at but I received no feedback about it to my  
email or to me on the mentors email list.  I've thought of some minor  
updates to the package but plan to post to the mentors email list  
about it again first.


> if upstream is missing, shouldn't we rather remove the whole package?

    It isn't so much that upsteam is "missing", since the site is  
still there, as they do not seem to be automatically providing a  
current archive of the contents of the site.


> Outdated hardware documentation isn't really useful...

    What is in the package isn't outdated, it just doesn't have as  
much information as the current site does.
