It's a wiki.  You edit the page yourself, so that it's no longer
incorrect.

You can also file a bug against the pseudo-package "wiki.debian.org".

But the real underlying problem here is


     GNOME BREAKS EVERYTHING


It's really friggin' hard to work around this in documentation that has
been written over a span of 20 years, and has always worked before.

UNTIL GNOME.

Want to set or tweak your locale?  You edit this or that file and you put
this or that variable in it, log out and back in, and it works everywhere
EXCEPT GNOME.

Want to change the PATH variable?  You edit this or that file and log
out and back in, and it works everywhere EXCEPT GNOME.

Want to change keyboard mapping?  You run an xmodmap command to make it
take effect immediately, and then you also put it in this or that file so
that it happens on future logins, and this works everywhere EXCEPT GNOME.

And so on, and so on.

And they made this thing the god damned DEFAULT?!
