Thanks, just adding "archive" is better than my awful long patch, and
it's accurate.

Sure, I just wanted to provide a consistent title with package.info and
package.manpages, adjusted on the other way in the current patch.

Sure, thus correcting <file>etc/init.d/<var>package</var></file> on the
previous paragraph, included in the current patch (hope this is correct).

As you wish, but a manpage is not (and can't be) a "must", since some
programs are not intended to be shell executable: some CMS like phpbb3
have no use of a manpage, even if some documentation is shipped in the
package under another form, and the same remark is applicable to the
package main-guide... (It's kept in the current patch, but I won't
upload it if you are not agree, of course).

The three patches are created in chapter 3 "Modifying the source"
(id="modify"), not in chapter 2 "First steps" (id="first").


The last diff of the current patch contains, in top of the nip ticking
"debianize" change a s/it/them/ at the end of the line (because I assume
we are talking about the added files, not directory to be edited).


I also included a patch to remove jargon neologism "debianize" as it
should be done next week in the Policy, cf. #586163 (I intend to propose
to do the same for the developers-reference).

Is it ok with you if I try and fix s/section/area/ to conform with
Policy (and DFSG) about what {main|contrib|non-free} are (I intend to
propose to do the same for the developers-reference) ?

Cheers

David
