Bug#2255: dpkg includes out of date Guidelines
> the source tar file includes a "Guidelines" file that still talks

I can fix this in two ways:
1. Throw away the old copy in the dpkg source tree.
2. Put the latest version of the dpkg source tree and maintain that
as the master. Optionally install a formatted version.
Opinions ? Especially, Ian M. ?
I think including the guidelines in dpkg is a good idea. I also think
installing them to /usr/info is a good idea. That way, when someone
asks how to construct a Debian package, we can tell them to `info -f
guidelines'.
