Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.6.2.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

the patch below clarifies the difference between Build-Depends and
Build-Depends-Indep. The current policy section is hard to grasp; most
new maintainers are confused by the information there. The information
is of course correct, but the wording does not stress the important
point "Build-Depends-Indep is what the autobuilders _don't_ need".

Please consider applying the patch below - thanks.
