Bug#545548: [PATCH 0/3] debian-policy package should include a pointer to http://wiki.debian.org/PolicyChangesProcess



Hi,

     These series of patches add easy to edit sources for a README file,
 for documenting the Policy change process, and finally, the upgrading
 checklist. The source format is designed to be easy to read and edit,
 and is rendered into a pretty text format, as well as HTML, as long
 as a recent versionof Emacs is found. The rendered files are shipped
 in the package to avoid a build dependency on Emacs; the idea is that
 policy editors have emacs isntalled and pre-create the rendered files
 before release, kind of like the bad old days of autotools.

     Of course, we can just add emacs23 to the build depends, and
 strip the generated files from the Package, I'm game either way.

       Three patches follow. Feedback appreciated.
