+ * Josip Rodin:
+ - fix typographic errors reported by David Martinez (closes: Bug#80740)
+ - common.ent: upped the numbers a little bit, updated lintian reports URL
+ - updated regarding va->klecker move, and www->people move, changed
+ most mentions of dinstall to a generic term "archive maintenance
+ software", removed full path to it because it is in PATH now,
+ mentioned "dak" and "katie" (somewhat vaguely), changed week to
+ month regarding FTP archive waiting time since that\'s more often
+ the case, and changed weeks to hours regarding Maintainers file
+ updates since that\'s also more often the case now, updated some
+ URLs to entities, s/debian-doc/doc-debian/
+ - replaced evil latin1-only quotation marks, replaced mentions of
+ important severity (in RCB context) with serious severity, some
+ details fixed
+ - common.ent (1.10): fixed email-debian-user alias; updated
+ sample-dist-dirtree (with more to come)
+ - described testing; described package pools (this particular part
+ required quite a bit of changes, and it might be a bit rough, but
+ it's a start); described the frozen test cycles et al; some other
+ smaller fixes
+ - another update WRT sid/unstable/testing, from Colin Watson
+ (closes: Bug#80896)
