Version: 3.5.2.0
Severity: wishlist
This proposal does not change the intended meaning of the existing policy;
it simply brings the wording of the existing policy (whose origins date
back to very early versions of the Debian Policy Manual) into line with
Policy 1.1 as more recently adopted. I also cleaned up the wording to
reduce reiteration of policy already stated elsewhere, and hopefully made
the policy more clear.
