Package: debian-policy
Version: 4.6.1.1
I've stumbled upon this:
$ info debian-policy | grep -Eoi '[*]note.*:[^.]+'
...
*note Debian source control files – .dsc: 61
*note Syntax of control files: 8f
*note List of fields: a9
This looks very weird. What's "61", "8f", "a9"?
OK, I dug into texinfo documentation¹ and learned that these are
anchor names. If they are really necessary, I'd expect them to be at
least somewhat human readable.
