* Set the version of the Perl Policy to match the version of the Policy
package.
* Explain the Perl module package naming policy more explicitly and
* Revise the footnote discussing shlibs creation to not talk about the
switch to objdump as if it were a new innovation and to explicitly
mention the NEEDED attribute as the source of dependency information.
+ * Introduce "control information file" to refer to the contents of the
+ Debian package control.tar.gz, following the dpkg documentation. Use
+ that terminology consistently, and change possibly confusing
+ references to fields in control files to use "control field"
+ uniformly.
+ * Document that the first line of the changelog entry is conventionally
+ 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)
+ * Fix formatting error in footnote to 7.7. (Closes: #589362)
+ * Remove ancient Conflicts and Replaces.
