Some preconditions from that time has changed, and major change since then has been that binary-only uploads are much easier infrastructure-wise than before that there's less reason to rename a -dev package than when this was authored about 8 years ago. The last time I seriously worked on this document was 2006 and in the hindsight, I was learning this stuff as I wrote this document, there must be inaccuracies. But I lack the motivation to revise this document now. > > -- > Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
