1076 manuals (the Debian Policy Manual, the Debian Packaging Manual, and
1077 the Debian Developer's Reference) share the same version numbering
1080 - The first three digits of the version number specify the
1081 `Standards-Version.' This number is incremented with each policy
1082 change. The fourth digit represents the `patch-level,' which may
1083 differ between the manuals.
1085 If only the patch-level digit is incremented, no changes in policy
1086 have been made, except bug fixes and clarifications. Packages only
1087 have to specify the first three digits of the version number in the
1088 `Standards-Version' field of their source packages.
1090 * Uploaded to frozen and unstable. This is a documentation-only
