+ * Fix cross-reference to control field syntax in Policy 5.4 (source
+ package control files). Thanks, Jakub Wilk. (Closes: #661412)
+ * Additional wording improvements to copyright-format 1.0 for clarity.
+ Also mention that the Files pattern syntax is the same as fnmatch(3)
+ and GNU find -path without [] patterns. Thanks, Jonathan Nieder and
+ Ben Finney.
+ * 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. (Partly addresses #639663)
+ * 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.
+ * Fix mistaken word choice (prefix instead of suffix) in the upgrading
+ checklist entry for 3.9.3.0.
+ * Add some missing entries to the virtual package names list changelog.
+ * Remove unused substitution variable generated by the build. Thanks,
+ Charles Plessy.
+ * 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.
