Package "ubuntu-policy"

ubuntu-policy (3.8.2.0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Rebrand as "Ubuntu Policy Manual", preserving acknowledgements.
    - Document Ubuntu Maintainer field handling.
    - The Breaks field may safely be used in Ubuntu packages.
    - Document requirement to update the icon cache when installing files
      into subdirectories of /usr/share/icons.
    - Document the layout of the Ubuntu archive.
    - Describe Ubuntu version number conventions.
    - Document the changelog conventions for closing bugs in Launchpad, and
      the Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed .changes field.
    - Recommend that Standards-Version not be adjusted for Ubuntu revisions
      of this manual, and in general that Standards-Version should not be
      changed in Ubuntu for packages originating in Debian.
    - Recommend discussion on ubuntu-devel rather than debian-devel.
    - Document the special semantics of packages in the "metapackages"
      section. See:
      https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-September/026523.html
    - Note that Maintainer field changes for Ubuntu do not generally need to
      be documented in debian/changelog.
