To recap: Dan Quinlan is no longer the FHS contact, and would like us to remove his email from policy. This is a simple administrative change, with no functional effect on Debian whatsoever, but it needs to be done.

Well, while we are on the topic, debian developer's reference in section 2.2 at the end of the second paragraph has a problem. :) On Thu, 14 Mar 2002, Anthony Towns wrote: On Thu, Mar 14, 2002 at 10:17:18AM +, Julian Gilbey wrote: Anthony: will typographical changes such as these be accepted into testing?

Log message:
* Set the cotact information for the FHS contact, and add mention of the
FHS mailing list.closes: Bug#137172

exist, and does contain the menu policy. closes: Bug#110711, Bug#121977
* Added java related virtual packages closes: Bug#110713
* Fixed confusion in appar4ently contradictory wording about /etc/init.d
scripts: clarified to emphasize that the init.d files _are_
configuration files, and they _must_ have local changes preserved,
either (if they are present in the .deb) by marking them as conffiles
or, if they do not exist in the .deb file, by any other means. This
does not change any requirements, and should have no affect on any
conformant packages. closes: Bug#132621
* Fixed error in doc-base file closes: Bug#137521
* fixed typo in virtual packages list closes: Bug#110446
* Fixed typo in upgrading checklist. closes: Bug#110705

* Fixed grammar errors in the policy closes: Bug#126131
* While I am cleaning out bugs, these are old and the reporter no longer
wnats to pursue them, and there was never a consensus reached. If
there is interest, new bugs can be filed. closes: Bug#51411, Bug#51412
* Added the virtual package dict-clientcloses: Bug#122996
