22.48 Version 3.2.0
===================

Released August, 2000.

10.1

     By default executables should not be built with the debugging
     option -g.  Instead, it is recommended to support building the
     package with debugging information optionally.

12.8

     Policy for packages where the upstream uses HTML changelog files
     has been expanded.  In short, a plain text changelog file should
     always be generated for the upstream changes

     Please note that the new release of the X window system (3.2) shall
     probably need sweeping changes in policy

     Policy for packages providing the following X-based features has
     been codified:

     11.8.2

          X server (virtual package xserver)

     11.8.3

          X terminal emulator (virtual package x-terminal-emulator)

     11.8.4

          X window manager (virtual package x-window-manager, and
          ‘/usr/bin/x-window-manager’ alternative, with priority
          calculation guidelines)

     12.8.5

          X fonts (this section has been written from scratch)

     11.8.6

          X application defaults

11.8.7

     Policy for packages using the X Window System and FHS issues has
     been clarified;

11.7.3

     No package may contain or make hard links to conffiles

     Noted that newer dpkg versions do not require extreme care in
     always creating the shared lib before the symlink, so the unpack
     order be correct
