Dear all,

according to the doc-base manual (2.3.2.1):

     _Section_
          Section where the document belongs; this should follow the
          sections outlined in The Debian Menu sub-policy
          (http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu-policy/ch2.html#s2.1).
          Required field.

I am wondering if when a .doc-base file is not updated, it makes the package
uncompliant with the new Policy, or only with the doc-base manual ?

Have a nice day,
