Hello,

I'll note that as a policy delegate I'll make the following
purely informative changes to the patch once committed:
- don't qualify with dpkg version number since it is older than the
version in oldstable
- move the text out of tags since we're trying to reduc

Hello,
README.md says that "Wording:" is for the author of a change. However,
I believe that the intention of the field is not to give credit to the
author of a patch, but to indicate who sought seconds for the patch. So
I've replaced "author" with "proposer" in README.md.
