   * 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)

+  * 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.
