+ Manoj:
+ * Bug fix: "policy 11.5.3 refers to using the menu package to register
+ docs", thanks to Joey Hess (Closes: #222553).
+ * Bug fix: "[PROPOSAL] Document Uploaders: field in policy", thanks to
+ Andrew Pollock. Andreas Metzler provided the wording, though it was
+ modified during inclusion. (Closes: #203145).
+ * Bug fix: "debian-policy: Minor grammatical correction in section 9.4",
+ thanks to Eric Evans. I rejected the proposed change, instead I went
+ over the whole policy document and removed all he/she/him/her
+ constructs before the gender police jump all over me. (Closes: #273122).
+ * Bug fix: "XSI:ism in prerm and postinst", thanks to David Weinehall
+ (Closes: #260092).
+ * Bug fix: "debian-policy: please clarify section 12.7.", thanks to
+ Adrian Bunk. Added a clarifying footnote that makes it clear that
+ section 12.3 does not allow one to ignore section 12.7 (Closes: #276953).
+ *
+ * Bug fix: "debian-policy: should not ship generated files in source
+ archive, and should clean them from the tree", thanks to Branden
+ Robinson (Closes: #284967).
+ * Bug fix: "debian-policy: Detailed description of maintainer script
+ calls (Section 6.5) is incomplete", thanks to Nikolaus Schulz
+ and Thomas Hood. What happens when error unwinding itself runs into
+ problems is perhaps not discussed as completely as it should be.
+ (Closes: #286549).
+ * Bug fix: "9.3.3.2 "command -v" example needs tweaking",
+ thanks to Thomas Hood. Instead of the massively complex shenanigans
+ suggested in the bug report, just use which. which lives in an
+ essential package, so can be used in the preinst of packages.
+ (Closes: #291026).
+ * Bug fix: "debian-policy: please clarify/loosen the policy on rewriting
+ history", thanks to Frank Küster. Since this was not really a
+ directive, but merely an expression of an opinion, moved it into an
+ informative footnote. (Closes: #290270).
+ * Bug fix: "debian-policy: virtual package request: mpd-client", thanks
+ to Eric Wong (Closes: #270020).
+ * Bug fix: "[ACCEPTED 2005/02/04]: "libexec", or use of "lib" for
+ binaries in lib* packages", thanks to Junichi Uekawa
+ (Closes: #146023).
+ * Bug fix: "debian-policy: virtual package: flexmem", thanks to Bartosz
+ Fenski aka fEnIo (Closes: #239359).
+ * Bug fix: "Please clarify Section 2.5. required <-> essential",
+ thanks to Adrian Bunk. Clarified the section. (Closes: #216104).
