Bug#53496: some details wrong in Policy section 3.2.



Package: debian-policy
Severity: wishlist
Version: 3.1.1.1

Hi people,

The section 3.2. "Users and groups", among other things, says this:

     The UID and GID ranges are as follows:

And later it says this:

     65534:
          User `nobody'.'

There should also be a note that the group name of that gid is `nogroup'.

Also, this:

     100-999:
          Dynamically allocated system users and groups.
[...]
          an unused id based on the ranged specified in `adduser.conf'.
                                    ^^^^^^
I don't know what the underlined word means - should it say "ranges",
or "range"?

Please CC: me if replying, thank you...
