Did this replace netlibs, or is netlibs still also of interest?  I seem to
recall that CLI and .NET are two different ways of talking about the same
general set of technology.

There was a previous bug filed about netlibs (Bug#255090) was that this
should get into Policy first and then into lintian.  I'm not sure if we
need to be that strict, but I do want to see a real policy and
specification.

This:

is a good start, but contains little of use in actually verifying the
contents of the control file.  At least a syntax specification would seem
to be in order here.

Is the intention for cli-policy to eventually become a subpolicy of the
main Debian Policy manual?
