Drop docbook-xml from the doc-base file for debconf-spec

docbook-xml is not one of the supported format types in the doc-base
specification and all stanzas are supposed to be for a supported
format. Drop this stanza (and thereby also fix a lintian warning).

Don't try to compress FHS files before installation

We install the already-compressed FHS files, so we don't need to compress
them. We also shouldn't try to compress them before we install them.

Update the common-licenses list

Update the list of licenses in /usr/share/common-licenses to mention
specific version numbers, include GFDL 1.2, and include GPL 3 and
LGPL 3. List all of the specific file names in the footnote rather
than only giving examples.

Packages that follow the Debian Configuration management specification
must support internationalization by using a gettext-based system such
as po-debconf.

Document the type field in shlibs and its use with udebs

The shlibs file syntax now supports an optional type field specifying
the type of packages to which the line applies.  Currently, the only
supported type is udeb.  Include documentation of the syntax, the use
with udeb, and an example.  Based on a patch from Frans Pop with input
from Raphael Hertzog.

git-archimport-id: rra@debian.org--lenny/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-15

Merge lists of urgency values and include a complete list

Remove the footnote in the changelog description that provides one
incomplete list of urgency values. Add a normative list instead of
examples in the description of the Urgency field, and move the rest
of the footnote content about dak behavior to there.

Replace 822-date reference to date -R

Replace the reference to 822-date in a footnote with date -R since 822-date
is a deprecated Perl script and date -R is now the recommended tool.

Source in .changes may contain a version number

Per recent mail from Guillem Jover, the version number is also added
to the Source field of .changes files for binNMUs. This change was
made in dpkg 1.13.22 and is therefore currently in stable. dak also
now supports it.

git-archimport-id: rra@debian.org--lenny/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-12

fix FTBFS when built twice in a row

Don't unpack the FHS tarball since it overwrites our own build system and
we don't use the files inside the tarball anyway. Don't install the FHS
files twice.

git-archimport-id: rra@debian.org--lenny/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-11

Fix a/an misuse and other minor wording issues

Fix several misuses of a vs. an and other minor grammatical problems
or unusual phrasing. Patch from Michiel de Boer.

Rename inetd-superserver to inet-superserver

Rename inetd-superserver to inet-superserver in the virtual package list.
The latter is the virtual package currently in use (by inetutils-inetd,
openbsd-inetd, and rlinetd), and Marco d'Itri confirmed that the correct
package name is inet-superserver.

git-archimport-id: rra@debian.org--lenny/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-9

Add new virtual package dictd-dictionary

Add the new virtual package dictd-dictionary, provided by packages that
contain a dictionary suitable for a dictd server. (Closes: #413575)

git-archimport-id: rra@debian.org--lenny/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-8

Formatting and alphabetization of the virtual package list

Wrapped the descriptions of virtual packages at 80 columns, cleaned up
trailing whitespace, and alphabetized the list of virtual packages
within sections except where there was clear benefit to having two
packages adjacent (audio-mixer and x-audio-mixer).

Remove stray [fillme] from menu policy

Remove stray [fillme] markers from the menu policy introduced by the last
patch.

git-archimport-id: rra@debian.org--lenny/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-6

Recommend ${binary:Version} instead of ${Source-Version}

${Source-Version} was confusing (since it actually is replaced with the
binary package version in, for example, binNMUs) and has been deprecated
in dpkg. ${binary:Version} should be used instead. Update Policy's
recommendation accordingly.

Typo fix for writability of maintainer scripts

Change "must not be not world-writable" to "must not be world-writable"
as was obviously intended.

Substantial updates to the menu structure

Substantial updates to the menu structure from Bill Allombert.
Resolves Bug#361418.

git-archimport-id: rra@debian.org--lenny/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-3

Add test -a/-o and local to shell policy, update wording

Scripts may now assume that /bin/sh supports local (in a limited form)
and, if they use a built-in test, that built-in supports test -a/-o
binary logical operators. Reword to include echo -n as another case
of additional required features. Replace references to POSIX with
SUSv3 and add a link.

git-archimport-id: rra@debian.org--lenny/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-2

Document ~ behavior in version numbers

Allow ~ in package versions and update the sorting rules to reflect ~'s
behavior of sorting before any other character or the empty string.
Thanks to Nicolas François and Marc Brockschmidt for wording
suggestions.
