Do you not find the version numbers suggestive?
debian-policy_2.4.1.3.deb
developers-reference_2.4.1.3.deb
packaging-manual_2.4.1.1.deb
Would there be serious objections to having the policy
maintainers actually take over the developers reference? Since it
does give an overview of the packaging process, it needs be kept
uptdate with policy changes. If needed, we can make it clear that the
package does not carry the full wieght of policy.
However, I shall bow to public opinion; so far, I am out voted
two-to-one. Comments?
