Bug#361418: [Proposal] new Debian menu structure
I do not think this is an improvement. The main goal for menu items is (should be) clarity, not 100% grammatical or spelling correctness. Conservation of screen real estate is an important secondary goal, and should not be sacrificed to linguistic perfection. -- A true pessimist won't be discouraged by a little success. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#372148: Bug confirmed
tags 372148 +confirmed patch
tnx
I've been looking at this bug in the documentation, and what Justin says is
completely true. I've found out that my diagrams also beared this bug
(maybe because I made them while reading the docs, or maybe because policy
was updated to reflect my diagrams :-\). I have updated the diagrams and
checked that all the info is correct now.
So, just to keep clear what needs to be changed, I've attached a patch to
the sgml document that fixes all the bugs reported.
(Also, it should be noted that 'an "Half-Installed" state' is incorrect and
should be replaced by 'a "Half-Installed" state', but I've left it out of
this patch to keep things clear).
