+ * Standardize dpkg state wording and bring it in line with dpkg,
+ renaming Failed-Config to Half-Configured and use uniform
+ capitalization and punctuation. (Closes: #442134)
+ * Remove documentation of alternative changelog formats. This feature
+ is not allowed in the Debian archive and will be documented in the
+ dpkg-dev documentation instead. The documentation that was in Policy
+ was also somewhat outdated. (Closes: #555009, see #584141)
+ * Remove obsolete footnote sentence saying that dpkg-statoverride is a
+ new feature and not well-known. (Closes: #563425)
+ * Clarify in the Perl Policy that perl-base is essential, not perl, and
+ don't imply packages need to depend on perl-base. (Closes: #576594)
+ * Document the special debian-installer section in the list of current
+ sections and add a link to the list of sections in unstable, which
+ contains longer descriptions. (Closes: #577666)
+ * Remove the footnote listing every architecture known to dpkg. This
+ list can be trivially produced by dpkg-architecture -L (already
+ noted), is very long, and quickly becomes out-of-date.
+ * Move silly version ordering example to a footnote. (Closes: #560839)
+ * Reletter the process steps to not skip State C and use more
+ traditional foreground and background colors for Process.html and
+ README.html. (Closes: #584521)
