Package: debian-policy Version: potato Severity: wishlist "Debian Policy Manual - Chapter 2, The Debian Archive" needs an update for potato since it says:
The effort of the Debian project is to build a free operating system, but not every package we want to make accessible is free in our sense (see Debian Free Software Guidelines, below), or may be imported/exported without restrictions. Thus, the archive is split into the sections main, non-us, non-free, and contrib. The main section forms the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. When this was written, non-us was a mix of free and non-free software. This is no longer true in potato, so I propose to change that to: --------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] Thus, the archive is split into the sections main, non-free, contrib, non-US/main, non-US/non-free, and non-US/contrib. The main and the non-US/main sections forms the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm looking for seconds for this proposal. [ We should probably remove the Linux word..., but maybe in another different proposal. One thing at a time ]. Thanks.
