I found two little typos in line 1054 and 1055 of policy.sgml: s/proipose/propose/; s/ahve/have/ In line 907 of policy.sgml I would prefer to read "policy" instead of "manual", this wasn't completely clear for me, when I read it first. upgrading-checklist.text should be extended to support the new policy. You should especially mention, the following FHS changes: s#/usr/doc#/usr/share/doc# s#/usr/man#/usr/share/man# s#/usr/info#/usr/share/info# s#/usr/doc/COPYRIGHT#/usr/share/common-licenses# Especially the move from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc should be very well documented, because there is no automatism to find a documentation in /usr/doc/<package> or /usr/share/doc/<package>. This may be very annoying to the user searching for documentation. Maybe there should be a interim solution using symlinks? And how does this work with the web servers showing the documentation? http://localhost/doc/ points to /usr/doc/ at the moment, but how does this work, when some packages install their documentation in /usr/doc and others in /usr/share/doc? We shouldn't publish this new policy before there is a solution for the above noted problems. It's no problem that some packages install their man- or info- pages in /usr/share/{man,info}, because the readers (should) handle multiple directories correct, but I don't see such an easy solution for /usr/doc vs. /usr/share/doc. It's great that logrotate is now the official way to rotate log files. Should we make the logrotate package a "required" package now or should every package using it, "Depend" on it?
