Okay, I've gone through all of the unclassified bugs and reviewed all of the bugs that were tagged with patch, and I think I've merged all the stuff that was obviously ready to go. All of the bugs should now be properly usertagged as well, so:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=yes&src=debian-policy now looks quite a bit better. Here's what I currently have going out in the next release. I plan to wait for the next upload of base-files with the MPL 1.1 and 2.0 licenses, and then upload a new version of Policy, so that we don't get out of sync on the common-licenses part. If that turns out to not fit the timing for the emacs transition, I'll have to figure out some other approach. Happy new year!

(Closes: #816515) * Clarify informative mentions of debian/tmp in the appendices to document the now-common use of debian/<pkg> instead as the temporary staging area. Document that convention, instead of debian/tmp-something, for multi-binary packages. Thanks, Niels Thykier. (Closes: #816249) * Remove lingering wording that implied that build-arch and build-indep targets are optional. Thanks, Ferenc Wagner, Jakub Wilk, and Charles Plessy. (Closes: #793999) * Rather than giving the paths to the installed shlibs and symbols files and then saying those paths shouldn't be used, just say to use dpkg-query --control-show. Recommend --control-show instead of --control-path, since the latter is deprecated. Patch from Salvatore Bonaccorso. (Closes: #688220) * Explicitly give Unicode code points in the definition of the syntax of Debian control files and, where appropriate, show the character. Patch from Ben Finney. (Closes: #821365) * Remove obsolete footnote about a versioned dependency on a liblockfile1 release from 1999. Thanks, Jakub Wilk. (Closes: #794902) * Fix the long name of the Common Public License in the copyright-format policy. It is just Common Public License, with no leading "IBM". Thanks, Stefano Zacchiroli. (Closes: #781654) * Fix the copyright-format examples to not have duplicate License paragraphs. Thanks, Stefan <b...@bc-bd.org>. (Closes: #824922) * Replace reference to dbus-launch in the autopkgtest documentation with dbus-run-session. Patch from Simon McVittie. (Closes: #835876) * Add an example of an architecture restriction in a dependency with multiple architectures separated by spaces. (Closes: #734662) * Change emacs build dependency to specify the major version instead of relying on metapackages, and stop using a versioned dependency on the emacs metapackage (which didn't do what was intended anyway). Switch to Emacs 25 for the build. (Closes: #849483) * Add some additional information to the upgrading-checklist entry for the 3.9.8.0 release. * Fix debian/changelog and upgrading-checklist dates for the 3.9.8.0 release to match the actual upload. (Closes: #822059) * Fix duplicated "the" words in 4.4 and 8.6.3.2. Patch from Valentin Samir. (Closes: #830989) * Compress all files with gzip -n to avoid embedding timestamps, enabling reproducible builds. * Switch to https URLs for Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser. * Use the same URL for both Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser, which now works fine and has some advantages over the gitweb version for Vcs-Browser. Thanks, Mattia Rizzolo. * Run wrap-and-sort -ast. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
