Bug#455602: debian-policy: Examples of dpkg frontends should mention apt now
Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.3.0
Severity: minor
Policy 7.2:
>(The other three dependency fields, `Recommends', `Suggests' and
> `Enhances', are only used by the various front-ends to `dpkg' such
> as `dselect'.)
Since apt uses Recommends now, and can show Suggests, perhaps it would
make a better example here. In any case, dselect now by no means
represents the most popular dpkg frontend.
