Closes: #488214
* Be more verbose in defining the build architecture and the host
architecture and consistently refer to architecture rather than
machine. (Closes: #591857)
* Correct the name of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard in the package
description. Patch from Christoph Anton Mitterer. (Closes: #590696)
* Use the word "implemented" to describe required targets in
debian/rules, which is clearer about allowing wildcard rules. List
the required rules in their own paragraph rather than with the
paragraph discussing non-interactivity, and explicitly mark all rules
as either required or optional. (Closes: #536790)
* Update the ldconfig footnote listing the /etc/ld.so.conf directories
to remove the libc5 compatibility directories and mention the
multiarch triplet directories. Based on a patch by Charles Plessy.
(Closes: #597074)
* Add introductory paragraphs for each archive area explaining briefly
the purpose of that archive area. Based on a proposal by CJ
Fearnley. (Closes: #594542)
* Change all non-historical references to Debian GNU/Linux to simply
Debian since Debian now includes FreeBSD-based architectures. Patch
from Guillem Jover. (Closes: #594656)
* Remove references to the obsolete debmake package.
* Update the list of Policy maintainers.
* Wrap Uploaders in debian/control.
* Move Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends (there's no reason to use
-Indep in a package that builds only architecture-independent binary
packages), wrap it, and remove version restrictions that are older
than the version in oldstable.
* Add emacs23 to the build dependencies and remove the files generated
from org source from the revision control repository. Build and clean
files from org source unconditionally. Add Process.{txt,html} to the
list of files generated from org source. (Closes: #594274)
* Fix URLs under www.freedesktop.org to avoid permanent redirects.
Thanks, David Prévot. (Closes: #606869)
* Add a cross-reference to the Pre-Depends requirement in 3.5 to section
7.2 where Pre-Depends is defined. Thanks, Mattias Ellert and Jonathan
Nieder. (Closes: #599944)
* Include the new (optional) copyright format that was drafted as DEP-5.
This is not yet a final version; that's expected to come in the
3.9.3.0 release. Thanks to all the DEP-5 contributors and to Lars
Wirzenius and Charles Plessy for the integration into the Policy
package. (Closes: #609160)
