Bug#830989: debian-policy: Typos "the the" in "4.4 Debian changelog: debian/changelog" and "8.6.3.2 The symbols File Format"



Package: debian-policy
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi

Reading the debian policy for the first time, I notice two minor typos where 'the'
is repeated.

The first time in §4.4:
    "+zzzz or -zzzz is the the time zone offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)."

The second time in §8.6.3.2
    "To explain this format, we'll use the the zlib1g package as an example, […]"
