491 - The version numbers are independent of dpkg now, but all policy
492 manuals (the Debian Policy Manual, the Debian Packaging Manual, and
493 the Debian Developer's Reference) share the same version numbering
496 - The first three digits of the version number specify the
497 `Standards-Version.' This number is incremented with each policy
498 change. The fourth digit represents the `patch-level,' which may
499 differ between the manuals.
501 If only the patch-level digit is incremented, no changes in policy
502 have been made, except bug fixes and clarifications. Packages only
503 have to specify the first three digits of the version number in the
504 `Standards-Version' field of their source packages.
