+ Closes: #446712
+ * 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
+ for the report and Raphaël Hertzog for the review. (Closes: #483418)
+ * Clarify the meaning of architecture restrictions on build dependencies
+ in the presence of alternatives. Thanks to Guillem Jover for the
+ explanation and review and Emilio Pozuelo Monfort and Don Armstrong
+ for wording review. (Closes: #163666)
+ * Change the term "category" to "archive area" when referring to main,
+ contrib, and non-free. This is closer to the wording of the Social
+ Contract. (Closes: #473439)
+ * Use <user>:<group> notation rather than <user>.<group> notation in
+ multiple places. Thanks, Kurt Roeckx. (Closes: #488039)
+ * Fix typo in 3.8.0.0 upgrading-checklist entry. Patch from Kobayashi
+ Noritada. (Closes: #487701)
+ * Mention debugging packages as an explicit example of packages with
+ extra priority. Thanks, Charles Plessy. (Closes: #491985)
+ * Clarify that translation is only required for user-visible debconf
+ messages. Capitalize "Debian Configuration Management Specification"
+ uniformly. Thanks, Julian Andres Klode. (Closes: #492624)
+ * Add --wildcards to the sample tar command in appendix B.1 for
+ extracting the package copyright file, adjusting for new tar option
+ behavior. Thanks, Yan Morin. (Closes: #503685)
+ * Reword the requirement that maintainer scripts exit with a zero
+ status on success to avoid double-negatives.
+ * 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.
