+
+ * Fix cross-reference to control field syntax in Policy 5.4 (source
+ package control files). Thanks, Jakub Wilk. (Closes: #661412)
+ * Additional wording improvements to copyright-format 1.0 for clarity.
+ Also mention that the Files pattern syntax is the same as fnmatch(3)
+ and GNU find -path without [] patterns. Thanks, Jonathan Nieder and
+ Ben Finney.
+ * Suggest checkbashisms from devscripts or the posh shell for checking
+ whether /bin/sh scripts are Policy-compliant rather than recommending
+ dash. Thanks, Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #490604)
+ * Remove the ambiguous word "installed" when requiring that the location
+ of files and directories follow the FHS. (Closes: #638060)
+ * Clarify the syntax of field names to make it clear that they may not
+ contain spaces. Thanks, Charles Plessy. (Closes: #647645)
+ * Clarify that only one of build-arch or build-indep may be provided
+ (currently, at least) and that build should depend on whichever exist
+ or perform the equivalent actions. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for some
+ of the wording. (Closes: #601839)
+ * Clearly state that "yes" is the only valid value of DM-Upload-Allowed
+ and rewrite its description to be less indirect. (Closes: #622263)
+ * Update the dpkg-buildpackage -r documentation in the appendix to
+ reflect the current behavior of using fakeroot. Wording from Sam
+ Morris. (Closes: #658009)
+ * Fix the legal notice in copyright-format to not refer to a nonexistent
+ copyright notice.
+ * Install the HTML version of upgrading-checklist in the policy.html
+ directory as upgrading-checklist.html so that it can be deployed on
+ www.debian.org in a way that will allow links to Policy sections to
+ work easily. Thanks, Charles Plessy. (Partly addresses #639663)
+ * Ship the copyright-format source as copyright-format.xml.tar.gz
+ without a version, since it will include all of the versions, not just
+ the current version.
+ * Fix mistaken word choice (prefix instead of suffix) in the upgrading
+ checklist entry for 3.9.3.0.
+ * Add some missing entries to the virtual package names list changelog.
+ * Remove unused substitution variable generated by the build. Thanks,
+ Charles Plessy.
+ * Strip down and reformat debian/rules to remove unused variables,
+ references to old files no longer included, use a more standard
+ layout and standardize variable names, and add comments for better
+ maintainability.

+ * Update the copyright format document to the version of DEP-5 from the
+ DEP web site and apply additional changes from subsequent discussion
+ in debian-devel and debian-project. Revise for clarity, to add more
+ examples, and to update the GFDL license versions. Thanks, Steve
+ Langasek, Charles Plessy, Justin B Rye, and Jonathan Nieder.
+ (Closes: #658209, #648387)
+ * Publish the copyright format specification as copyright-format-1.0 so
+ that later versions can be added without removing previous versions of
+ the standard. Patch from Charles Plessy. (Closes: #646119)
