34 * I believe this should go into frozen because (a) it's only
35 documentation, so it can't introduce RC bugs, and (b) it fixes an

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

498 package and the changes to the manual are relevant for hamm.
