Bug#888918: release.debian.org: Update freeze policy for buster



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

We should update the freeze policy for buster.

The bug is 1) a reminder of this fact and 2) a reminder of some
concrete improval suggestions:

 * Remove references to priority extra (e.g. "priority: optional or extra")
 * Add a reference to the list of key packages
   => https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/key_packages.yaml.cgi
 * Add a more summary view of the milestones.  Example table in [1].

Thanks,
~Niels

[1] People have been asking for a summary of which milestone applies
what policy change.  The following table *could* be an example of
that.
