* Standardize dpkg state wording and bring it in line with dpkg,
renaming Failed-Config to Half-Configured and use uniform
capitalization and punctuation. (Closes: #442134)
* Remove documentation of alternative changelog formats. This feature
is not allowed in the Debian archive and will be documented in the
dpkg-dev documentation instead. The documentation that was in Policy
was also somewhat outdated. (Closes: #555009, see #584141)
* Remove obsolete footnote sentence saying that dpkg-statoverride is a
new feature and not well-known. (Closes: #563425)
* Clarify in the Perl Policy that perl-base is essential, not perl, and
don't imply packages need to depend on perl-base. (Closes: #576594)
* Document the special debian-installer section in the list of current
sections and add a link to the list of sections in unstable, which
contains longer descriptions. (Closes: #577666)
* Remove the footnote listing every architecture known to dpkg. This
list can be trivially produced by dpkg-architecture -L (already
noted), is very long, and quickly becomes out-of-date.
* Move silly version ordering example to a footnote. (Closes: #560839)
* Reletter the process steps to not skip State C and use more
traditional foreground and background colors for Process.html and
README.html. (Closes: #584521)
* Fix typo in footnote about help2man. (Closes: #584796)
* Add an example for Replaces when a package is split. Thanks, Uwe
Kleine-König. (Closes: #572253)
* Explicitly state that packages may remove unmodified, obsolete
configuration files during upgrade. (Closes: #470633)
* Clarify the wording around which build dependencies must be satisfied
for different debian/rules targets and add a footnote to the
description of the build-arch and build-indep targets explaining why
this split does not currently work as desired. (Closes: #328951)
* Avoid "Debianised" or "Debianized" in favor of just "Debian" or
"Debian package" as appropriate. Patch from Ben Finney.
(Closes: #586163)
* Switch to source format 3.0 (native).
