An arguably small point, but the Developer's Reference is explicitly *not* "the rules". Its own scope statement makes this clear: <quote> Furthermore, this document is not an expression of formal policy. It contains documentation for the Debian system and generally agreed-upon best practices. Thus, it is not what is called a ``normative'' document. </quote> Regards, Adam
