Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.3.0
Severity: minor

According to upgrading-checklist, support for alternative changelogformats were removed in Debian Policy 3.8.1.0. However, appendix C stilldocuments their usage:

$ zgrep -A4 'alternative changelog' /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/policy.txt.gzC.2.2.1. Defining alternative changelog formats

-----------------------------------------------

     It is possible to use a different format to the standard one, by
     providing a parser for the format you wish to use.
