Changes:
debian-policy (3.5.6.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Set the cotact information for the FHS contact, and add mention of the
FHS mailing list. closes: Bug#137172
* ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/ certainly seems to
exist, and does contain the menu policy. closes: Bug#110711, Bug#121977
* Added java related virtual packages closes: Bug#110713
* Fixed confusion in appar4ently contradictory wording about /etc/init.d
scripts: clarified to emphasize that the init.d files _are_
configuration files, and they _must_ have local changes preserved,
either (if they are present in the .deb) by marking them as conffiles
or, if they do not exist in the .deb file, by any other means. This
does not change any requirements, and should have no affect on any
conformant packages. closes: Bug#132621
* Fixed error in doc-base file closes: Bug#137521
* fixed typo in virtual packages list closes: Bug#110446
* Fixed typo in upgrading checklist. closes: Bug#110705
* Fixed typo (dependencies) in the policy closes: Bug#122931
* Fixed grammar errors in the policy closes: Bug#126131
* While I am cleaning out bugs, these are old and the reporter no longer
wnats to pursue them, and there was never a consensus reached. If
there is interest, new bugs can be filed. closes: Bug#51411, Bug#51412
* Added the virtual package dict-client closes: Bug#122996
* Added the virtual package foomatic-data closes: Bug#123570
* Added the virtual packages {x-}audio-mixer closes: Bug#131781
