okay so picture this: this is a tiny little script whose entire job is to launch your favorite browser and pop open the index page of the developers-reference package. that's the whole plot 🎀

cute little sign-off so you know where this came from: this page ships with Debian, and this particular version is dated July 30, 2019. the header up top said DEVELOPERS-REFERENCE(1) and the footer said the same thing with Debian in the middle, so now you know the whole lore. bye pookie, go read the actual guidelines 💖✨
