1.3.1 Early history
-------------------

Originally called “Debian GNU/Linux Policy Manual”, this manual was
initially written in 1996 by Ian Jackson.  It was revised on November
27th, 1996 by David A. Morris.  Christian Schwarz added new sections on
March 15th, 1997, and reworked/restructured it in April-July 1997.
Christoph Lameter contributed the “Web Standard”.  Julian Gilbey largely
restructured it in 2001.  Since September 1998, changes to the contents
of this document have been co-ordinated by means of the debian-policy
mailing list <debian-policy@lists.debian.org>
