closes: #174048.
* Fixed several errors reported by Guenther Palfinger, with some help from
Richard Braakman, closes: #177205, #177206, #177207, #177208, #177209.
+ * Added versions to links and docbook-xml source-dependencies, hopefully
+ fixes the bug with potato, and even if it doesn't, I don't care :)
+ closes #103459.
+ * Fixed typos in the debconf spec noticed by Jay Bonci, closes: #178455.
+ * Clarified that using Build-Depends for build-dependencies is not a "may"
+ but a "should", added proper linking among various sections dealing with
+ the dependencies so that there is no confusion, closes: #87510.
+ If any one of those poor, misguided people ;) still thinks that the
+ requirement should be a "must" (in _our_ meaning, not RFC "MUST"),
+ please file a new bug, as it's quite unproductive to have to sift
+ through a 152-page bug log which mostly goes back-and-forth with
+ explanations how policy should work, occasionally sprinkled with
+ offtopic stuff, too.
+ * When asked to restart a service that isn't already running, the init
+ script should start it, closes: #60979.
+ * Rephrased section on configuration files to remove confusing use of
+ "should", closes: #170019.
+ * Rearranged the shared library information properly, closes: #109166.
+ This change also centralizes the info on how to ship static libraries
+ in one place (hopefully not too ambiguous), closes: #93975.
+ * Allow examples to be placed in /usr/share/doc/package/ in packages
+ that are meant to provide examples, closes: #69864.
