Source: debian-policy AFAIU, the base subsection was obsoleted with Etch (apparently, its removal was discussed already in 1997), and (almost) all packages moved to ordinary subsections, like other packages. However, it is still listed in section 2.4 and referred to in section 3.7. I think policy should contain or point to the real definition of the base system. -- Magnus Holmgren holmgren@lysator.liu.se
