* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Rebrand as "Ubuntu Policy Manual", preserving acknowledgements.
- Document Ubuntu Maintainer field handling.
- The Breaks field may safely be used in Ubuntu packages.
- Document requirement to update the icon cache when installing files
into subdirectories of /usr/share/icons.
- Document the layout of the Ubuntu archive.
- Describe Ubuntu version number conventions.
- Document the changelog conventions for closing bugs in Launchpad, and
the Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed .changes field.
- Recommend that Standards-Version not be adjusted for Ubuntu revisions
of this manual, and in general that Standards-Version should not be
changed in Ubuntu for packages originating in Debian.
- Recommend discussion on ubuntu-devel rather than debian-devel.
- Document the special semantics of packages in the "metapackages"
section. See:
https://lists. ubuntu. com/archives/ ubuntu- devel/2008- September/ 026523. html
- Note that Maintainer field changes for Ubuntu do not generally need to
be documented in debian/changelog. - 4. By Colin Watson

-
* Rename to ubuntu-policy so that the original debian-policy can remain in
the archive. This involves some slightly awkward document name changes,
since this package ships files in /usr/share/doc-base/ as well as the
actual documentation and we'd rather not have to conflict.
* Set Vcs-Bzr for Ubuntu.
