Ok.. there was some confusion of debian-www about where the byhand file
virtual-package-names-list.text came from - so it comes from the
debian-policy package.
Christian Schwarz's name needs to be removed from the file, so people stop
bothering him about it. The current text on getting modifications in is:
1. Post to debian-devel saying what names you intend to use or what
other changes you wish to make.
2. Wait a few days for comment.
3. Mail the maintainer of the virtual package name list (Christian
Schwarz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) notifying him of the consensus reached
(or your suggestions if noone objected). Please include a proposed
brief description of the new virtual name(s) for the list. The list
maintainer will then post the new list to debian-devel and upload it
to the FTP site.
4. Go and use the new or changed names.
Since this was written prior to debian-policy, a new and improved procedure
might be to post to debian-policy about it and if there is a consensus ask
for policy to be changed. <shrug>
