Bug#663918: debian-policy: forbid deprecated relations (<, >)
Package: debian-policy
Severity: wishlist
Python 7.1 currently reads:
| The deprecated forms `<' and `>' were used to mean earlier/later or
| equal, rather than strictly earlier/later, so they should not appear in
| new packages (though `dpkg' still supports them).
I hereby propose to change it from "should not" to "must not".
There are only 12 packages in the archive still using this confusing
syntax:
