debian-policy (3.9.3.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
+ * 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)
* 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.
