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,

Imagine a large red swirl here.
