+ the purpose of that archive area. Based on a proposal by CJ
+ Fearnley. (Closes: #594542)
+ * Change all non-historical references to Debian GNU/Linux to simply
+ Debian since Debian now includes FreeBSD-based architectures. Patch
+ from Guillem Jover. (Closes: #594656)
+ * Remove references to the obsolete debmake package.
+ * Update the list of Policy maintainers.
+ * Wrap Uploaders in debian/control.
+ * Move Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends (there's no reason to use
+ -Indep in a package that builds only architecture-independent binary
+ packages), wrap it, and remove version restrictions that are older
+ than the version in oldstable.
+ * Add emacs23 to the build dependencies and remove the files generated
+ from org source from the revision control repository. Build and clean
+ files from org source unconditionally. Add Process.{txt,html} to the
+ list of files generated from org source. (Closes: #594274)
+ * Fix URLs under www.freedesktop.org to avoid permanent redirects.
+ Thanks, David Prévot. (Closes: #606869)
+ * Add a cross-reference to the Pre-Depends requirement in 3.5 to section
+ 7.2 where Pre-Depends is defined. Thanks, Mattias Ellert and Jonathan
+ Nieder. (Closes: #599944)
+ * Include the new (optional) copyright format that was drafted as DEP-5.
+ This is not yet a final version; that's expected to come in the
+ 3.9.3.0 release. Thanks to all the DEP-5 contributors and to Lars
+ Wirzenius and Charles Plessy for the integration into the Policy
+ package. (Closes: #609160)
