Please sync debian-policy 3.8.1.0 (universe) from Debian unstable (main).

It instead needs to be merged, if necessary. The goal of this bug report
is to push a new version of debian-policy based on 3.8.1.x into Jaunty.

* Improve the documentation of maintainer script actions for diversions
in the informative appendix to allow for addition of a new diversion
on upgrade and handle error cases correctly. Thanks to Olivier Berger
for the report and Raphaël Hertzog for the review. (Closes: #483418)
* Clarify the meaning of architecture restrictions on build dependencies
in the presence of alternatives. Thanks to Guillem Jover for the
explanation and review and Emilio Pozuelo Monfort and Don Armstrong
for wording review. (Closes: #163666)
* Change the term "category" to "archive area" when referring to main,
contrib, and non-free. This is closer to the wording of the Social
Contract. (Closes: #473439)
* Use <user>:<group> notation rather than <user>.<group> notation in
multiple places. Thanks, Kurt Roeckx. (Closes: #488039)
* Fix typo in 3.8.0.0 upgrading-checklist entry. Patch from Kobayashi
Noritada. (Closes: #487701)
* Mention debugging packages as an explicit example of packages with
extra priority. Thanks, Charles Plessy. (Closes: #491985)
* Clarify that translation is only required for user-visible debconf
messages. Capitalize "Debian Configuration Management Specification"
uniformly. Thanks, Julian Andres Klode. (Closes: #492624)
* Add --wildcards to the sample tar command in appendix B.1 for
extracting the package copyright file, adjusting for new tar option
behavior. Thanks, Yan Morin. (Closes: #503685)
* Reword the requirement that maintainer scripts exit with a zero
status on success to avoid double-negatives.
* Include the full name of each menu category rather than only the
portion relative to the parent heading to be clearer in long category
lists. Thanks, Christoph Berg. (Closes: #511804)
* Build-Depend on texlive rather than tetex-extra. texlive appears to
be sufficient for how Policy uses debiandoc-sgml and pulls in far
fewer packages.
* Remove the postinst and prerm scripts. doc-base registration is now
handled by triggers and no longer required and removal of /usr/doc
links was completed long ago.
* Reference GPL-2 rather than the GPL symlink in debian/copyright.
