Bug#111025: debian-policy: typo in chapter 9: ldconfig and pre/post scripts

[Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>]

The most recent proposed patch [1] in this bug removes the rationale
about ldconfig seeing dpkg's temporary files if you call it at the wrong
point in the maintainer scripts. I'd like to suggest that this rationale
should be retained, if only in a footnote.

Would the proposer or the seconders object to retaining the following
text from the existing paragraph in policy, with appropriate editorial
changes so that it fits with the new text?

                                                                  [...] as
     `ldconfig' will see the temporary names that `dpkg' uses for the files
     while it is installing them and will make the shared library links
     point to them, just before `dpkg' continues the installation and
     renames the temporary files!
