Hello everyone, I just uploaded Debian Policy 4.1.3.0 to sid. Here are the normative changes from the previously announced version of Policy (4.1.2): 5.6.26 URLs given in ``VCS-*`` headers should use a scheme that provides confidentiality (``https``, for example) if the VCS repository supports it. ``[vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri]`` 7.8 ``Built-Using`` should be used exactly when there are license or DFSG requirements to retain full source code in the archive. Previously, the description of the field implied it was needed in other cases too. 9.1.1 ``libc`` may also install files in ``/lib64``. 9.3.3.1 If a package's daemon should not be autostarted unless the local administrator has explicitly requested it, the package's ``postinst`` should use the new ``defaults-disabled`` option of ``update-rc.d``. The old method of including ``DISABLED=yes`` in the package's ``/etc/default`` file should not be used. 11.4 Clarify that programs may invoke either ``/usr/bin/editor`` and ``/usr/bin/pager`` directly, or use ``editor`` and ``pager`` and rely on PATH. 12.5 The Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal license (CC0-1.0) is now included in ``/usr/share/common-licenses`` and does not need to be copied verbatim in the package ``copyright`` file. [not actually included in /usr/share/common-licenses yet, pending an update to the base-files package] -- Sean Whitton
