No, we just decide to do point releases every now and then. Or, whenever
requested by a translation team that has done a bunch of translation work.

Yes, it is manual.

The desktop help documents published on help.ubuntu.com are also a
released package, and so fall under SRU requirements. (Although,
having said that, I think that help.ubuntu.com and the package
are slightly out of sync at the moment.)

Since the serverguide is NOT a released package we not bound by any
SRU (Stable Release Update) rules. However, we do not want to be cycling
the translation files too often.

Summary: If it makes sense, we can do a point release of the lts serverguide.
However, first I would like to check the status of some pending work on the Samba
chapter, and include it if possible.
