Author: srivasta

- Rearranged the manula to create a new Section 4, Files
+ Section 3.3 ("Files") was moved to Section 4. The Sections
that were Section 4 and Section 5 were moved down to become
Section 5 and Section 6.
+ What was Section 5.5 ("Log files") is now a subsection of the
new Section 4 ("Files"), becoming section 4.8, placed after
"Configuration files", moving the Section 4.8 ("Permissions
and owners") to Section 4.9. All subsections of the old
Section 5 after 5.5 were moved down to fill in the number
gap.
- Modified the section about changelog files to accomodate
upstream changelogs which were formatted as HTML/ These
upstream chagelog files should now be accessible as
/usr/doc/package/changelog.html.gz
+ Symlinks are permissible to link the real, or upstream,
changelog name to the Debian mandated name.
- Clarified that HTML documentation should be present in some
package, though not necessarily the main binary package.
- Corrected all references to the location of the copyright
files. The correct location is /usr/doc/package/copyright
- Ratified the architecture specification strings to cater to the
HURD.
