* Improve the documentation of maintainer script actions for diversions
in the informative appendix to allow for addition of a new diversion
on upgrade and handle error cases correctly. Thanks to Olivier Berger
in the presence of alternatives. Thanks to Guillem Jover for the

for wording review. (Closes: #163666)

+ * Include the full name of each menu category rather than only the
+ portion relative to the parent heading to be clearer in long category
+ lists. Thanks, Christoph Berg. (Closes: #511804)
+ * Build-Depend on texlive rather than tetex-extra. texlive appears to
+ be sufficient for how Policy uses debiandoc-sgml and pulls in far
+ fewer packages.
+ * Remove the postinst and prerm scripts. doc-base registration is now
+ handled by triggers and no longer required and removal of /usr/doc
+ links was completed long ago.
+ * Reference GPL-2 rather than the GPL symlink in debian/copyright.
