+    Closes: #567845
+  * Fix typo in package_upstream-version.orig.tar.gz.
+    Thanks, Salvatore Bonaccorso. (Closes: #558430)
+  * Replace 'copyright and distribution license' by 'copyright information
+    and distribution license' (three times).

+  * 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+    was also somewhat outdated.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)
