        Policy only contains part of what was in the packaging manual.

        But it does not, really. The rest of the packaging manual has
 been relegated to where it came from, documentation of the Debian
 packaging system; and it is in the process of being reincarnated as a
 dpkg manual.

        A statement that parts of the packagning manualk are now part
 of the policy manual would be correct; and perhaps the description
 can mention that.
