Howdy David, Thank you for caring about the documentation and source, I am very glad of the review of my proposed changes.

The deb822-style describes formats like the package control fields. I confusingly wrote “RFC 822” when referring to APT's HTTP-style protocols.

I have updated the commit messages to reflect the current HTTP standards for those cases. Please let me know whether you require further changes in <URL:https://notabug.org/bignose/debian_apt/commits/wip/issue/824908/terminology-header-fields> to accept the merge. -- \ “I have an answering machine in my car.
