How about the following change to the first paragraph of section 1.1 ?
This manual describes the policy requirements for the Debian
distribution. This includes the structure and
contents of the Debian archive and several design issues of the
operating system, as well as technical requirements that
- each package must satisfy to be included in the
- distribution.
+ each source and binary package must satisfy to be included in the
+ distribution. Micro binary packages, described in more details
+ in the the <url name="Debian Installer internals manual"
+ id="http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/ch03.html";>,
+ are not fully covered in this manual.
Have a nice day,
