reassign 489135 developers-reference severity 489135 normal retitle 489135 developers-reference: uses debian-policy style wording stop
In my opinion developers-reference should not use must/should/may wording, because this makes readers confuse developers-reference with debian-policy. For example, in developers-reference 3.4.0 : file:///usr/share/doc/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-origtargz "must contain detailed information how the repackaged source was obtained, and how this can be reproduced in the debian/copyright." The word "must" gives the impression that it's a standard to which Debian software must comply. Please consider rephrasing the must/should/may parts in developers-reference to convert these parts to just best-practice recommendations. Or, please consider moving those parts to debian-policy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
