Debian Policy 3.9.6.0 released



Dear developers,

We have just released Debian Policy 3.9.6.0.

The following is the upgrading checklist.
Please read the full Debian Policy document for detail.

     9.1
          The FHS is relaxed to allow a subdirectory of `/usr/lib' to hold
          a mixture of architecture-independent and architecture-dependent
          files, though directories entirely composed of
          architecture-independent files should be located in `/usr/share'.

     9.1
          The FHS requirement for `/usr/local/lib64' to exist if `/lib64'
          or `/usr/lib64' exists is removed.

     9.1
          An FHS exception has been granted for multiarch include files,
          permitting header files to instead be installed to
          `/usr/include/triplet'.

     10.1
          Binaries must not be statically linked with the GNU C library,
          see policy for exceptions.

     4.4
          It is clarified that signature appearing in debian/changelog
          should be the details of the person who prepared this release of
          the package.

     11.5
          The default web document root is now `/var/www/html'

     virtual
          `java1-runtime' and `java2-runtime' are removed, `javaN-runtime'
          and `javaN-runtime-headless' are added for all N between 5 and 9.

     virtual
          Added `httpd-wsgi' for WSGI capable HTTP servers.

     perl
          Perl packages should use the `%Config' hash to locate module
          paths instead of hardcoding paths in `@INC'.

     perl
          Perl binary modules and any modules installed into
          `$Config{vendorarch}' must depend on the relevant `perlapi-*'
          package.

For the policy team,
-- 
Bill. <ballombe@debian.org>

Imagine a large red swirl here.
