Add a recommendation for the location for run-time support material,
not meant to be invoked directly.
a) it shows a predilection for a directory named for the package,
but does not mandate it
b) Since this is a new requirement, it starts off as a
recommendation (after all, this was originally touted merely as
"best practice", not as something required for interoperability)
c) It also discusses arch independent modules, and adds similar
language for that.

Debian changelogs should be UTF-8 encoded. Changed the wording from a
should to a may; since a should would make an unknown number of
packages insta buggy. A reuest makes all these wishlist bugs; we can
raise the severity in a later version of policy.
Added LANG=C before the debiandoc2X invocations, this ensures that the
resulting documents do not get converted to the locale on the building
machine.

* Added missing bits of information about Description: fields from

* Fixed a stale reference to the "base system maintainer" to

* Fixed an accidental change from /usr/share/package to /usr/share/doc in
the paragraph about not depending on /usr/share/doc/package,
closes: #174048
* Fixed several errors reported by Guenther Palfinger, with some help from
Richard Braakman, closes: #177205, #177206, #177207, #177208, #177209
* Added versions to links and docbook-xml source-dependencies, hopefully
fixes the bug with potato, and even if it doesn't, I don't care :)
closes: #103459
* Fixed typos in the debconf spec noticed by Jay Bonci, closes: #178455
* Clarified that using Build-Depends for build-dependencies is not a "may"
but a "should", added proper linking among various sections dealing with
the dependencies so that there is no confusion, closes: #87510
If any one of those poor, misguided people ;) still thinks that the
requirement should be a "must" (in _our_ meaning, not RFC "MUST"),
please file a new bug, as it's quite unproductive to have to sift
through a 152-page bug log which mostly goes back-and-forth with
explanations how policy should work, occasionally sprinkled with
offtopic stuff, too.
* When asked to restart a service that isn't already running, the init
script should start it, closes: #60979
* Rephrased section on configuration files to remove confusing use of
"should", closes: #170019
* Rearranged the shared library information properly, closes: #109166
This change also centralizes the info on how to ship static libraries
in one place (hopefully not too ambiguous), closes: #93975
* Allow examples to be placed in /usr/share/doc/package/ in packages
that are meant to provide examples, closes: #69864
* Removed several references to the Policy manual etc in the stuff
imported from old packaging manual, closes: #181923
* Fixed too greedy wildcard match in the logrotate example,
