Hello everyone,
Hot on the heels of Debian 10 "buster" comes Debian Policy 4.4.0.0
(breathe your sign of relief). Thank you to everyone who participated
in preparing this release.
Here are the significant normative changes from the previously announced
release of Policy (4.3.0):
4.9
The recommended way to implement the build process of a Debian
package, in the absence of a good reason to use a different
approach, is the ``dh`` tool. This recommendation includes the
contents of the ``debian/rules`` building script.
Some examples of good reasons to use a different approach are
given. The recommendation to use ``dh`` does not always apply,
and use of ``dh`` is not required.
5.6.26
Permit ``-b`` in Vcs-Hg as well as Vcs-Git.
7.5
Document versioned Provides.
virtual
New ``logind`` and ``default-logind`` virtual packages for a package
providing logind API (via D-Bus and sd-login(3)), and for Debian's
preferred implementation, respectively.
