Hi,
There appears to be a package "man" in frozen that shouldn't be there since
man-db is the new name for that package. Somebody needs to take it out;
otherwise, it is confusing to users.

There actually is a packages.debian.org domain aliased on "master", I
had problems making it work because darned qmail won't parse a full
RFC822 address on the command line (it wants you to remove the
comments). If someone wants to spend some time on a simple mailer hack,
you can make this work.

A brief word of warning... (I tried CVS on dpkg a while back)
The natural CVS model is to name the directory for the package,
for example .../dpkg/ and relegate the version numbers to tags.

Hi folks!
As I'm working on a new Policy I'm handling the request to include a
policy for "correct architecture spec strings". However, I've discovered
_several_ threads here on debian-devel without any (obvious) results.
Is it correct, that we are currently working on ports to the following
