In whatever format it is available in, and all formats that it is
available in.  The first (any format) is justified because the
information should be made available ASAP, and distribution shouldn't
have to wait until the format suits the archive.  The second (all
formats) is justified because of the diversity of user environments.
For instance, I do not have reasonable access to a postscript printer,
but I can easily handle troff and nroff (MS, MM, and ME macros).
