doing so. (Closes: #329762).

debian-policy (3.7.0.0) unstable; urgency=low

Brian White. (Closes: #32263).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: [PROPOSAL] Should update to Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard FHS 2.3", thanks to Tobias Burnus
(Closes: #230217, #212434, #344158).
* Bug fix: "[AMENDMENT 11/04/2006] Permit multi-line fields in
debian/control", thanks to John R. Daily. Mention that all fields,
except the Uploaders, are supposed to be a single logical line, which
may be spread over multiple physical lines (newline followed by space
is elided). Also mention that anything parsing the control file must
allow for a multi-line uploaders field. (Closes: #148194).
* Bug fix: "[AMENDMENT 12/04/2004] frown on programs in PATH with
language extentions", thanks to Joey Hess. (Closes: #190753).
* Bug fix: "init script stop example should use --oknodo", thanks to
Matt Kraai. Removed the example entirely. (Closes: #346598).
* Bug fix: "policy 12.5: Please recommend a sane practice WRT different
gpl versions (was: Re: RFC/RFS: beef - a flexible BrainFuck
interpreter)", thanks to Justin Pryzby. The subject leaves something
to be desired, but polic should not attempt to enumerate all common
licenses. (Closes: #355263).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: Conflicting Architecture definitions", thanks
to Hans Ulrich Niedermann. Punt to dpkg-architecture to providing
legal architecture strings, since that's what is used by everyone
anyway. The version in policy was wrong, but that s=does not seem to
have hindered anyone, which indicates that this policy directive was
uneeded. Now the dpkg-architecture list is deemed authoritative, which
it is, but the format for the string is defined by policy, and the
current list of architecture strings is in an informative foot note.
(Closes: #357613).
* Bug fix: "[AMENDMENT 06/04/2006] Make use of invoke-rc.d, if
available, mandatory", thanks to Lars Wirzenius. (Closes: #361137).
* Bug fix: "no longer current regarding X font paths", thanks to Joey
Hess (Closes: #362247).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: please prohibit circular dependencies, or
mention that dependencies won't be respected during prerm remove",
thanks to Justin Pryzby. Well, we did not prohibit circular
dependencies. But we do now have a warning that In case of circular
dependencies, since installation or removal order honoring the
dependency order can't be established, dependency loops are broken at
some random point, and some packages may not be able to rely on their
dependencies being present when being installed or removed, depending
on which side of the break of the circular dependcy loop they happen
to be on. (Closes: #362975).
* Bug fix: "8.6.4. Providing a `shlibs' file: s/should create/must
provide/", thanks to Christoph Berg. Clarified the wording.
(Closes: #341232).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: Chapter 6 - Package maintainer scripts:
redundant info about exit status", thanks to Daniel Bonniot
(Closes: #349010).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: Refers to upgrading-checklist.txt instead of
upgrading-checklist.txt.gz", thanks to Matt Kraai (Closes: #349775).
* Bug fix: "debian-policy: dpkg-gencontrol now uses -isp by default",
thanks to Guillem Jover (Closes: #359817).
* Bug fix: "[PROPOSAL] unclear recommendation for debconf w/
dpkg-statoverride", thanks to Eduard Bloch (Closes: #199849).
* debian-policy: please support Watch file as recommendation, thanks to
Bluefuture (Closes: #342611).
* Bug fix: "[PROPOSED] Mandate http servers to provide httpd-cgi as
relevenat", thanks to Uwe Hermann. This is already supported by the
http servers out there. (Closes: #117916).
