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. -- Sean Whitton
