+
+ * AMENDMENT: Added in changes in Bug #25911, which rearranged sections
+ to create a new section 4, namely, files. Section 3.3 ("Files") should
+ become Section 4. The Sections that are currently Section 4 and
+ Section 5 should be moved down to become Section 5 and Section 6
+ accordingly.
+
+ What is now Section 5.5 ("Log files") should be moved to be a
+ subsection of the new Section 4 ("Files"), becoming section 4.8,
+ placing it after "Configuration files", moving the would-be Section
+ 4.8 ("Permissions and owners") to Section 4.9. All subsections of the
+ current Section 5 after 5.5 should be accordingly moved down to fill
+ in the number gap.
+
+ This, along with the next amendment, justifies bumping up the version
+ number. closes: BUG#25911
+
+ * AMENDMENT: Added in changes in Bug #21185, about the naming and
+ compression of changelog files. Now, if the upstream changelog file is
+ HTML formatted, it should be accessible as
+ /usr/doc/<package>/changelog.html.gz It also allows for this to be a
+ symlink, if the upstream file name does not conform to Debian
+ conventions. closes: BUG#21185
+
+ * AMENDMENT: Added in changes in Bug #7890, to make clear that the HTML
+ documents should be supplied in _some_ package, not necessarily in the
+ main binary package (at the discretion of the maintainer).
+ closes: BUG#7890
+
+ * AMENDMENT: Added in changes in Bug #26461, which corrects the policy
+ to refer to /usr/doc/<package>/copyright, rather than
+ /usr/doc/copyright/<package>. closes: BUG#26461
+
+ * AMENDMENT: Added in changes in Bug #25385, which allow the
+ architecture specification strings to be of the form <arch>-<os>,
+ where os is one of linux, gnu. Previously, only linux was allowed, now
+ we also cater to the hurd. closes: BUG#25385
+
+ * The responsibility of the contents of this package has now passed to
+ the debian-policy mailing list. The packaging details are now being
+ managed by a group of maintainers that do ot won the contents.
+
+ * Make the package optional, not extra.
+
+ * Re did the SGML markup. Normalized the document, and undid the omitted
+ and shor tags. Personally, I use too many DTD's in real life to be so
+ converssant with each one to be clever with tag omissions, and, since
+ I have a smart editor, omitting tags does not byuy one much. In the
+ process, I discovered a few errors in the markup (one of my
+ predecessors hasd the unfortunate habit of treating <p> as a "create
+ some space here" tag, and more often than not put it at the end of a
+ paragraph, rather than using is as a container element (which is what
+ it is, really).
+
+ * Re did the control files, making them more robust
+
+ * re did the rules file, making it more general, and easier to maintain
+ by putting in a layer of abstractions.
