* Added missing bits of information about Description: fields from
the old Packaging manual,                                   closes: #172022
* Fixed a stale reference to the "base system maintainer" to
base-passwd maintainer,                                     closes: #174927
* 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,
closes: #183544
