An overhaul of the getting Debian pages is indeed long overdue.

Adrian Gibanel had some great ideas about presentation of derivatives
stuff on the website, perhaps he has some about reorganising the
'getting Debian' section of the website. Adrian, the initial proposal
and discussion is available here:

https://bugs.debian.org/819664

I would drop mention of architectures and go with either the
multi-arch only ones 64-bit ones or an auto-detection system based on
User-Agent, JavaScript etc.

I would encourage a review of how the getting/download pages for other
operating systems (Windows/Mac/Android variants) and Free Software
distributions work.

Some ideas around verification and safety of getting Debian:

A couple of other sketches of how getting Debian pages could work:

http://get.debian.net/
http://debian-cd.debian.net/

There are some things that are missing from the getting Debian pages:

win32-loader
https://www.debian.org/blends/
https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianHosting

Probably the FAQ could be eliminated by addressing most of the entries
in the text?
