Which can be found in the debian-policy package. Which can safely be
installed from unstable, even on non-unstable systems (as far as I can
tell; I keep that one package manually up to date, since I develop on a
woody system and use pbuilder to run my builds/lintian/linda checks).
Have I mentioned lately how much I love pbuilder hooks? :)
Now, to get the NetBSD port up to the point that I can make pbuilder-bind
(bind-mounts /var/cache/pbuilder/build/<process> on top of a single
unpacked copy of base.tgz, rather than unpacking the tarball every time -
saves an unbelieveable amount of time on systems with only moderately fast
disks).
