Bug#550192: Please number the 10 DSFG points

[Enrico Zini <enrico@debian.org>]

Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.3.0
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

Would it be possible, just for convenience, to number the DFSG points in
the policy like they are in http://www.debian.org/social_contract ?

When I ask questions as Application Manager to candidates about the
DFSG, the answers I get often quote DFSG points by number, like one can
find at http://www.debian.org/social_contract

However, the policy in /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/policy.txt.gz has
the list without numbers, which is makes it quite inconvenient to refer
to when I'm offline.

I am told that debian-legal discussions also quote the DFSG by number
all the time.


Cheers,

Enrico
