+ * typos and "red-pen" corrections, fix cosmetic problems in PostScript
+ version
+ * remove the one case I use an URL fragment identifier, since
+ debiandoc-sgml doesn't like it (bug filed against debiandoc-sgml)
+ * 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'
+ * "Mailing Lists and Servers":
+ - "The master server": mention how master is the home of the BTS;
+ mention how users need to take care with their accounts on master
+ - "The WWW servers": fill in www.debian.org, first pass, and discuss
+ how to put up your own web pages on va or master
+ - "The CVS server": new section added
+ - "Mirrors of Debian servers": new section added; point to info about
+ how to mirror
+ * "Applying to Become a Maintainer": do not advise resending initial
+ application; instead, simply mail a followup asking new maintainers
+ whether they go the initial application (closes Bug #28739); mention
+ 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?
+ * "Interim releases": if you NMU a new upstream version (0.1), run
+ 'dpkg-buildpackage -sa'
