Bug#53582: let's get rid of this one at last
Well, I had not done much on this since that time :(
Joey suggested:
Here is one way we could reword policy:
| 2.3.6. The base system
----------------------
|
| The base system is a minimum subset of the Debian GNU/Linux system that is
installed before everything else on a new system. Thus, only very few
| packages are allowed to go into the base system to keep the
| required disk usage very small.
Most of these packages should have the priority value `required' or at
least `important', and many of them will be tagged `essential' (see
below).
You must not place any packages into the `base' section before this has
been discussed on the `debian-devel' mailing list and a consensus about
doing that has been reached.
Why not getting rid of the 3rd paragraph altogether ? It becomes
obsolete if the "base" section is to be removed.
