+
+ - Restructuring causing shifts in section numbers and bumping of
+ the minor version number:
+ + Many packaging manual appendices that were integrated into policy
+ sections are now empty, and replaced with links to the Policy.
+ In particular, the appendices that included the list of control
+ fields were updated (new fields like Closes, Changed-By were added)
+ and the list of fields for each of control, .changes and .dsc files
+ is now in Policy, and they're marked mandatory, recommended or
+ optional based on the current practice and the behaviour of the
+ deb-building toolchain.
+ + Elimination of needlessly deep section levels, primarily in the
+ chapter Debian Archive, from which two new chapters were split out,
+ Binary packages and Source packages. What remained was reordered
+ properly, that is, some sect1s became sects etc.
+ + Several sections that were redundant, crufty or simply not designed
+ with any sort of vision, were rearranged according to the formula that
+ everything should be either in the same place or properly interlinked.
+ Some things remained split up between different chapters when they
+ talked about different aspects of files: their content, their syntax,
+ and their placement in the file system. In particular, see the new
+ sections about changelog files.

+ full details of the long description format. [3.4.2]

+ build-dependencies, it should have them listed in the Build-Depends
+ and related fields (i.e. it's not merely optional). [4.2]
+ - When asked to restart a service that isn't already running,
+ the init script should start the service. [9.3.2]
+ - If the purpose of a package is to provide examples, then the
+ example files can be installed into <tt>/usr/share/doc/package</tt>
+ (rather than <tt>/usr/share/doc/package/examples</tt>). [12.6]
