I think we should add all of 3-5 to the dynamic range. I'm sure
that Stanford isn't the only site that's already ignoring the Debian
reservation and using those UIDs for other purposes.

If we're going to keep mime-policy, that sounds like the right solution to
me. We should at least consider merging the small amou
This proposal disagrees with the current Policy recommendation that shell
scripts start with set -e or check the exit status of each command. The
contention in this proposal is that this makes shell scripts unnecessarily
intolerant to problems and scripts should instead continue where possible

This proposal would change the virtual package name mp3-encoder to
music-encoder or audio-encoder, allowing ripping tools to depend on
music-encoder rather than the various available tools.
As mentioned in the bug, the problem is that the interface for an
audio-encoder virtual package is undefined
This is a proposal to add some standards to Policy for how packages should
be named to avoid short package names or names that are more common than
the package deserves (camera, terminal, etc.).
The proposal was discussed briefly in 2004 and then the discussion died
without proposed wording or app
This proposal concerns packages that need to have files owned by a
dynamically created user. Currently, Policy recommends use of
dpkg-statoverride in postinst to change the ownership to the dynamically
created user after the user has been created. This Policy proposal would
instead create the use
This proposal asks that Policy mandate a location to which init scripts
must log verbose errors. The original proposal was made in 2002 and there
was little subsequent discussion in 2003. This Policy proposal is also
not currently widely implemented in the archive and hence would be a

This proposal asks for an /etc/profile.d, the contents of which would be

This is contrary to the intent of Policy 9.9, which explicitly prohibits
programs from depending on environment variables to get reaso
This proposal would add to the scope section of the Policy document a

should note this in RE
