Clarifications to symbols and shlibs policy
subject/verb agreement: s/provide/provides/
Packages with libraries or binaries linking to a shared library must
use symbols or shlibs files to compute their dependencies. Packages
that dlopen() a shared library should do so as well, but since that
is not typical practice and the tools to do that don't exist, it is
not made a policy "must" yet.
The minimal version for a symbol can be bumped after the version of
the package in which the symbol was introduced.
Add a footnote explaining why shlibs files cannot be used for
libraries with unusual sonames.
The shlibs file for a library udeb goes in the corresponding deb.
The library deb corresponding to a udeb is supposed to provide a
shlibs file, rather than consuming (using) one.
Add "for example" when talking about dpkg-shlibdeps -T. This is
just an illustration and not meant to be normative.
If a library is used both directly and indirectly, the direct
dependency still needs to be declared.
Backward-compatibility is defined in terms of what reasonable
programs and libraries need.
In the normal case, symbols files go in dpkg's admindir as package
control files.
wording fix: "dependency on" avoids some of the ambiguity in
"dependency of".

Additional wording clarifications to copyright-format 1.0

Also mention that the Files pattern syntax is the same as fnmatch(3)

Install copyright-format source without a version
* Ship the copyright-format source as copyright-format.xml.tar.gz
without a version, since it will include all of the versions, not just
the current version.

Install HTML upgrading-checklist in policy.html directory
* Install the HTML version of upgrading-checklist in the policy.html
directory as upgrading-checklist.html so that it can be deployed on
www.debian.org in a way that will allow links to Policy sections to
work easily. Thanks, Charles Plessy. (Closes: #639663)
For right now, this is done with a bit of a hack to copy the file into
the appropriate directory and to turn the one-page HTML version of it
into a symlink inside the constructed package.
The clean solution will be to make the upgrading checklist an appendix
of Policy, which may be done as part of a DocBook conversion.

General cleanup of debian/rules
* Strip down and reformat debian/rules to remove unused variables,
references to old files no longer included, use a more standard
layout and standardize variable names, and add comments for better
maintainability.
