.
Manoj:
* Bug fix: "policy 11.5.3 refers to using the menu package to register
docs", thanks to Joey Hess (Closes: #222553).
* Bug fix: "[PROPOSAL] Document Uploaders: field in policy", thanks to
Andrew Pollock. Andreas Metzler provided the wording, though it was
modified during inclusion. (Closes: #203145).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: Minor grammatical correction in section 9.4",
thanks to Eric Evans. I rejected the proposed change, instead I went
over the whole policy document and removed all he/she/him/her
constructs before the gender police jump all over me. (Closes: #273122).
* Bug fix: "XSI:ism in prerm and postinst", thanks to David Weinehall
(Closes: #260092).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: please clarify section 12.7.", thanks to
Adrian Bunk. Added a clarifying footnote that makes it clear that
section 12.3 does not allow one to ignore section 12.7 (Closes: #276953).
*
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: should not ship generated files in source
archive, and should clean them from the tree", thanks to Branden
Robinson (Closes: #284967).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: Detailed description of maintainer script
calls (Section 6.5) is incomplete", thanks to Nikolaus Schulz
and Thomas Hood. What happens when error unwinding itself runs into
problems is perhaps not discussed as completely as it should be.
(Closes: #286549).
* Bug fix: "9.3.3.2 "command -v" example needs tweaking",
thanks to Thomas Hood. Instead of the massively complex shenanigans
suggested in the bug report, just use which. which lives in an
essential package, so can be used in the preinst of packages.
(Closes: #291026).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: please clarify/loosen the policy on rewriting
history", thanks to Frank Küster. Since this was not really a
directive, but merely an expression of an opinion, moved it into an
informative footnote. (Closes: #290270).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: virtual package request: mpd-client", thanks
to Eric Wong (Closes: #270020).
* Bug fix: "[ACCEPTED 2005/02/04]: "libexec", or use of "lib" for
binaries in lib* packages", thanks to Junichi Uekawa
(Closes: #146023).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: virtual package: flexmem", thanks to Bartosz
Fenski aka fEnIo (Closes: #239359).
* Bug fix: "Please clarify Section 2.5. required <-> essential",
thanks to Adrian Bunk. Clarified the section. (Closes: #216104).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: Please remove virtual package
aspell-dictionary", thanks to Brian Nelson (Closes: #295939).
* Bug fix: "[AMENDMENT 18/02/2002] Where to place web-accessible
images", thanks to Tollef Fog Heen (Closes: #89867).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: erroneous enumeration in prebuilt policy.*
files", thanks to Nikolaus Schulz. I am hoping that this shall go away
when we rebuild. (Closes: #286553).
* Bug fix: "please make names of alternate versions links", thanks to
Robert Cheramy. Added HTTPPATH elements that should provide the URL's
as well as the hyperlinks. (Closes: #308886).
* Bug fix: "www.debian.org: Misspelling in Policy Manual", thanks to
Roberto C. Sanchez Various spelling errors were also corrected in a
spell check run. (Closes: #309162).
