Hi, apologies for the delay especially now that Buster is already in
full-freeze. :(
I'm attaching a patch, seems trivial. Here's the word-diff=plain to
resolve typos. Hoping this is okay to merge as is, but more feedback is
welcome.

Subject: [PATCH] ch-opersys: Update referenced sections to FHS 3.0
The policy says in section 9.1.1 all files and directories must comply
with Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) 3.0. Later in section 9.1.2,
the references to FHS' section numbers were pointing to sections
apparently only sensible for an older FHS 2.3 document.
This fixes those references to the new numbers found in the FHS 3.0
document, and thus fixes the typos.
