 Yes, it replaces netlibs. netlibs is not used by any current package
 anymore and clilibs was chosen because it describes the technology used
 better.

Okay, thanks, I've closed the other bug.

 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.

 Ok, I'll add it there next week. So let's leave this bug open until the
 cli policy became part of the policy, ok? :)

Or at least until there's a specification for the clilibs file in the CLI
policy, which would probably be enough.

Thanks!

 Hi,
 currently lintian throws an error about the clilibs control file. This

specification.

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