Package: debian-policy Version: 3.8.3.0 Severity: minor Hi,
The second footnote reads: > [2] Ordinary files installed by `dpkg' (as opposed to `conffile's and > other similar objects) normally have their permissions reset to the > distributed permissions when the package is reinstalled. However, the > use of `dpkg-statoverride' overrides this default behavior. If *you* > use _this_ method, you should remember to describe `dpkg-statoverride' > in the package documentation; being a relatively new addition to > Debian, it is probably not yet well-known. Since dpkg-statoverride is meant to be used by the system owner I don't see how that last sentence makes sense. I see two options: a) Drop the sentence. b) Replace "this method" with something like "special permissions." The "being a relatively new addition to Debian, it is probably not yet well-known." part should also be dropped as dpkg-statoverride dates back to year 2000.
