package.
* Explain the Perl module package naming policy more explicitly and
provide some examples. (Closes: #175202)
- * Add Pre-Depends and Build-Depends-Indep to the relationships not
- allowed from main to contrib or non-free and mention that such
- relationships are okay if the non-free package is only an
- alternative. Thanks, Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #587279)
* Revise the footnote discussing shlibs creation to not talk about the

+ an explanation for the upload if the uploader is not the regular
+ maintainer. Patch from Charles Plessy. (Closes: #589605)
+ * Fix typo in upgrading-checklist. (Closes: #588750)
