Version: 3.2.1.0
Section 4.1 of the policy manual says to build after setting
INSTALL = install
In addition to the fact that the example should use INSTALL_PROGRAM because
of the strip example later in this section, the value of the variable should
be /usr/bin/install. If it is set to a non-absolute path, configure will add
dots in subdirectories to refer to the top-level command, and then calls to
$(INSTALL) or $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) will fail, as in:
../install: No such file or directory

The opposite is also true.

Hi,
======================================================================
* #51702: [PROPOSED] Change package relations policy to remove
references to non-free from main
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: "Oliver
Elphick" <olly@lfix.co.uk>; 2 years and 351 days old.
patents are, unfortunately, no longer a US only thing. There was no
discussion. Crypto issues have changed since then, and we have a
non-free GR approaching. I do not think this is an active, and
actionable item for the policy group; I am thus closing this bug.
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #53582: [PROPOSAL] Obsolete base section
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Joey Hess
<joeyh@debian.org>; 2 years and 324 days old.
Sounds reasonable. There were no objections, and this is quite
obviously true currently; and then the Debian installer shall shake
things up again). This is going in.
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #54002: [PROPOSAL] permit use of bzip2 for source packages
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Chris
Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>; 2 years and 317 days old.
This proposal is premature; we need to see the tools updated, and
then, if needed, formalize it into policy. I suspect that since
policy is not dpkg documentation, this shall never need be in policy;
but I need to go over the document ands double check that.
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #54524: http_proxy and web clients.
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by:
=?iso-8859-1?Q?Nicol=E1s_Lichtmaier?= <nick@debian.org>; 2 years and
312 days old.
This seems like something being designed, and, thus, not yet a policy
issue. There has been no action for 2 years, and I am closing this
bug. If indeed we have current practice with /et/proxies or something,
a new bug/proposal can be created.
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #54985: debian-policy: handling of shared libraries
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Matthew
Vernon <matthew@sel.cam.ac.uk>; 2 years and 308 days old.
There does not seem to have been a consensus on this issue, or a
technically superior position (in my eyes).
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #60979: What /etc/init.d/xxx restart does?
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Radim Kolar
<hsn@cybermail.net>; merged with #87994; 2 years and 238 days old.
Isn't this now being standardized by LSB?
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #62768: policy on kernel module sources needed (unpacked or not)
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: "Alan W.
Irwin" <irwin@beluga.phys.uvic.ca>; merged with #63598, #71805; 2
years and 210 days old.
* #63598: policy on kernel module sources needed (unpacked or not)
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Ulf
Jaenicke-Roessler <ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de>; merged with #62768,
#71805; 2 years and 195 days old.
Why is this a policy issue? Do we really need to mandate absolute
conformity in modules packages? Whether you do a tar zvvfx in
MODULES_LOC or you di lndir there, you do get the same results.
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #62996: no way to detect webservers without CGI support
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Rev Simon
Rumble <simon@rumble.net>; 2 years and 205 days old.
This is not a policy issue yet, this is a design and implementation
issue. Please try to get the httpd package maintainers together and
work out a solution; and then we can put the working solution into
policy.
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #65577: [Amended] copyright should include notice if a package is not
a part of Debian distribution
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Taketoshi
Sano <sano@debian.org>; 2 years and 156 days old.
Hmm. I don't know. Does it seem like we have consensus?
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #65578: [PROPOSED] extra-Debian packages should have extra Priority
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Taketoshi
Sano <sano@debian.org>; 2 years and 156 days old.
No discussion at all, and I think that it blurs the priority and
sections a bit.
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #65764: changelog shouldn't be in the copyright file
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Josip Rodin
<joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>; 2 years and 153 days old.
Hmm. Sounds like we have a winner here. How about a diff, then, folks?
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #69864: debian-policy: Update section 6.7 for "examples packages"
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Adam C Powell
IV <hazelsct@mit.edu>; 2 years and 84 days old.
This too sounds reasonable to me, but there was no discussion at all.
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #72980: virtual packages list layout
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Josip Rodin
<joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr>; 2 years and 45 days old
Ok. This is going in..
======================================================================
======================================================================
* #73620: [PROPOSED] Policy example about INSTALL is wrong
Package: debian-policy; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Yves Arrouye
<yves@realnames.com>; 2 years and 43 days old.
This has already been answered by more recent changes in policy.
======================================================================
