Presumably the document would be publically available, if it was inaccurate (it's not only going to be read by newbies), then it would be discredited and not linked to, except by search engines that would probably also pick up any critisism of that site/page.
Of course, if you install the right debian package, the official debian docs are all installed for you. For some strange reason, this doesn't seem to be encouraged strongly enough.

freshmeat or with pkg_* it's in (pkgsrc|ports)/<category>/<program>/Makefile
That's source, not metadata.
Ok, so what is metadata in this case?
