Hi,

        I think it is time to drop the appendices from the policy manual
 proper, and at least put them into a separate document (obsolete dpkg
 documentation), or move them into dpkg itself, since these appendices
 are not normative, and unmaintained, they should be part of dpkg
 extended documentation, since they certainly are not policy.
