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