About the checklist
+ *7.1*: Build-Depends arch syntax has been changed to be less
ambiguous. This should not affect any current packages
+ *10.7.3*: Examples and templates files for use by scripts should now live
- in /usr/share/<package> or /usr/lib/<package>, with
- symbolic links from /usr/share/doc/<package>/examples as
+ in /usr/share/<package> or /usr/lib/<package>, with
+ symbolic links from /usr/share/doc/<package>/examples as
needed
3.5.2.0
/etc/default/; see *9.3.2] for details
+ *12.3*: Files in /usr/share/doc must not be referenced by any
program. If such files are needed, they must be placed in
- /usr/share/<package>/, and symbolic links created as required
- in /usr/share/doc/<package>/
+ /usr/share/<package>/, and symbolic links created as required
+ in /usr/share/doc/<package>/
+ Much of the packaging manual has now been imported into the
policy document
Released Oct 1999.
-+ /usr/doc/<package> has to be a symlink pointing to

and prerm scripts. Details are in *defunct*
+ *7.1, 7.6*: Introduced source dependencies (Build-Depends, etc.)
+ *9.3.4*: /etc/rc.boot has been deprecated in favour of /etc/rcS.d.
directly must be changed to use update-rc.d instead. (This is
because the file-rc package handles this information in an
incompatible way.)
-+ *12.7*: Architecture-specific examples go in /usr/lib/<package>/examples
- with symlinks from /usr/share/doc/<package>/examples/* or from
- /usr/share/doc/<package>/examples itself
++ *12.7*: Architecture-specific examples go in /usr/lib/<package>/examples

+ *9.1.1*: Updated FHS to a 2.1 draft; this reverts /var/state to
/var/lib
+ *9.7; mime-policy*: Added MIME sub-policy document
