 Rough Guide to doing Stable Point Releases in Debian
 ----------------------------------------------------
 
-o Install, reject and remove packages as directed by the SRM
+o Install, reject and remove packages as directed by the SRM 
+
+  NB1: !! you must run katie from within dists/proposed-updates; katie
+  takes it's "I'm doing a point release" cue from the CWD. !!
+
+  NB2: removing packages are not logged to the changelog; you need to
+       do that byhand.
+
 o Do anything in proposed-updates/TODO
-o Close any applicable potato bugs (hint: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=ftp.debian.org&include=potato)
-o Update README and dists/README
+o Close any applicable potato bugs
+  (hint: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=ftp.debian.org&include=potato)
+o Update version number in README and dists/README (ftp-master only)
 o Update the 'Debian<n>.<n>r<n>' symlink in dists/
-o Comment out "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
-o Run 'jenna -s'
-o Run apt-ftparchive generate apt.conf.stable[-non-US]
-o Uncomment "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
+o Clean up dists/ChangeLog (add header, basically)
 o Update version fields in katie.conf[-non-US]
 o Update fields in suite table in postgresql
+
+o Comment out "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
+o Run 'jenna -s stable'
+o Run apt-ftparchive generate apt.conf.stable[-non-US]
 o Copy tree/directory for stable to apt.conf[-non-US], run ziyi, remove it from apt.conf[-non-US]
+o Uncomment "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
 
 Yes, this sucks and more of it should be automated.
