-  * move to 3-level version number -- still not sure why I shouldn't just
-    go with a 2-level scheme, that needs more thought.   For now,
-    top-level version number probably won't change for a while, the
-    second-level number means significant content changes, and the
-    third-level change means corrections and minor improvements.
+  * move to 3-level version number:
+    top-level version number probably won't change for a whil, it is the
+    "major", the second-level number means significant content changes,
+    and the third-level change means corrections and minor improvements.
+    Since this version has significant content changes, we are now 2.5.0.
+    Since I'm going to put porter instructions in the next major rev, that
+    will be 2.6.0...
 
   * use new <package> tag where appropriate (Ardo, you rock)
   * replace 'm86k' with 'm68k'
   * rename 'Whirlwind Tour of ...' section to 'Overview of ...' (suggested 
     by James Troup)
+  * typos and "red-pen" corrections, fix cosmetic problems in PostScript
+    version
   * debian/rules: cosmetic cleanups, loosen check for root
   * debian/rules: build PostScript version during build, since it's nice
     to have all my debiandoc2* scripts together
+  * debian/control: policy compliant to 2.5.0
 
   * advise against uploading when a package has lintian problems of
     severity 'E'

     that calls usually come in the evening; mention that if you use PGP
     v5, you need to generate an RSA key (right?); clarify our intentions
     with respect to GPG.

+  * "Release code names": Debian 2.2 is 'potato'
+  * "Distribution directories": give concrete examples, hopefully making
+    it clearer where to look in Debian archives for specific stuff;
+    mention that old distributions are moved to archive servers (is there
+    a canonical location?)
+  * "The override file": new section, added under "Notification that a new
+    package has been installed"; fill it out quite a bit
+  * "Uploading to *": reiterate thrice not to upload export
+    controlled-software to master, or the European queues on erlangen and
+    chiark
+  * "Picking a distribution": section broken out from "Generating the
+    changes file"
+  * "Uploading to frozen": new section, almost straight from Brian White
+    (hope you don't mind!) -- isn't that topical?
