In the /dev section of the FSSTND
(/usr/doc/debian-policy/fsstnd/fsstnd-1.2.txt.gz) the following text is
found: ``All device special files should follow the standard in that
document, which is available via anonymous ftp at ftp.yggdrasil.com
in /pub/device-list.'' However, I cannot access ftp.yggdrasil.com
via anonymous ftp. Moreover, we should have a copy of that important
file in the distribution. Doing some research on my own I found
the latest version is included as part of the kernel source as
Documentation/devices.txt . Perhaps we can make this more apparent.
I mean it would be nice if all documents affecting Debian policy were
collected together.
