Bug#616462: debian-policy: clarify wording of parenthetical in section 2.2.1
Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.9.1.0
Severity: wishlist
As suggested in thread on debian-devel (starting at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/03/msg00202.html), change the
wording of the parenthetical in the first bullet of section 2.2.1 from
...the packages in main
• must not require a package outside of main for compilation or
execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends",
"Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-main
package)
to
...the packages in main
• must not require a package outside of main for compilation or
execution (thus, all declared "Depends", "Recommends", and
"Build-Depends" relationships must be satisfiable with only
packages in main)
...Marvin
