Hello everyone,
I just pushed Debian Policy 4.1.4.0 to sid. Thank you to the ~20 people
who contributed to this release, which includes several first time
contributors of patches.
Here are the normative changes from the previously announced version of
Policy (4.1.3):
4.9
The ``get-orig-source`` rules target has been removed. Packages
should use ``debian/watch`` and uscan instead.
8.2.2
The part of the version number after the epoch must not be reused
for a version of the package with different contents, even after
the version of the package previously using that part of the
version number is no longer present in any archive suites.
8.2.2
For non-native packages, the upstream version must not be reused
for different upstream source code, so that for each source
package name and usptream version number there exists exactly one
original source archive contents.
9.1.2
If ``/etc/staff-group-for-usr-local`` does not exist,
``/usr/local`` and all subdirectories created by packages should
have permissions 0755 and be owned by ``root:root``. If the file
exists, the old permissions of 2775 and ownership of root:staff
should remain.
