	I had already talked to Wichert about this before uploading
 the policy with packaging aspects subsumed, and he took over the
 packaging manuals dpkg documentation role. (Correct me I I
 mis remember, Wichert). 

	So I suspect that the packaging manyual shall reappear soon in
 a dpkg-doc package, at which point policy can start conflicting with
 old versions of the policy manual.
