In postinst:

As for a complete diff to the policy document, I think someone on the
tech-ctte is best to provide that. Since Manoj is the one who is
currently handling putting ammendments into policy and is also part of the
ctte which made the decision in the first place, I think it's perfectly
acceptable and even wise to give him editorial control over the exact
wording used.
Since the decision has been made, the point of this proposal is to make
sure it's on the todo list when Manoj starts updating the policy with
accepted ammendments. I am pretty sure I should have filed this as
accepted directly since the ctte's decision is pretty much the final word
on this.

What I meant above was to provide the same shell code as a reference
implementation. That's what debhelper uses and it doesn't require any
helper packages.

<Overfiend> partycle: I seriously do need a vacation from this package.
I actually had a DREAM about introducing a stupid new bug
into xbase-preinst last night. That's a Bad Sign.
