Note the mechanism for specifying the Git + branch used for packaging in the Vcs-Git field. + +7.1 + The deprecated relations < and > now must not be used. + +7.8 + New Built-Using field, which must be used to document the + source packages for any binaries that are incorporated into this package + at build time. This is used to ensure that the archive meets license + requirements for providing source for all binaries. + +8.6 + Policy for dependencies between shared libraries and other + packages has been largely rewritten to document the symbols + system and more clearly document handling of shared library ABI + changes. symbols files are now recommended + over shlibs files in most situations. All maintainers of + shared library packages should review the entirety of this section. + +9.1.1 + Packages must not assume the /run directory exists or + is usable without a dependency on initscripts (>= 2.88dsf-13.3) + until the stable release of Debian supports /run. + +12.5 + All copyright files must be encoded in UTF-8. + +
