Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.3.0
Section 11.8.6 refers to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/, and mandates
a conflict on 'xbase ( 3.3.2.3a-2)', which is not even in oldstable.
I think this should be dropped now, see attached diff against 3.7.3.0.
Cheers,
Julien

This change looks obviously correct, so I'm going to go ahead and apply
it. Thanks!
