In case my other replies to Russ didn't make this clear. This comment
was in reference to the various replies in the sub-thread started by
Charles, where it looked to me like whether to back that out was still
an open question for the editors.

In any case, as I mentioned, given the changes being included in the
release, I took that as indeed, sticking with the term, and that's why
I reopened and submitted the actual changes this original report was
intending on requesting. :)

As an aside I've since updated the dpkg code and docs to refer to
these as stanzas everywhere applicable.

Thanks,
Guillem
