+  Policy Manual:
+     - Debian formally moves from the FSSTND to the FHS. This is a
+       major change, and the implications of this move are probably
+       not all know.
+    - Only 3 digits of the Standards version need be included in
+      control files, though all four digits are still permitted. 
+    - The location of the GPL has changed to
+      /usr/share/common-licenses. This may require changing the
+      copyright files to point to the correct location of the GPL and
+      other major licences
+    - Packages that use libtool to create shared libraries must
+      include the .la files in the -dev packages.
+    - Use logrotate to rotate log files
+    - section 5.8 has been rewritten (Programs for the X Window
+      System) 
+    - There is now anassi=ociated menu policy, in a separate document,
+      that carries the full weight of Debian policy. 
+    - The files `/var/run/utmp', `/var/log/wtmp' and
+      `/var/log/lastlog' must be installed writeable by group
+      utmp. Programs who need to modify those files must be installed
+      install setgid utmp.
