22.39 Version 3.5.6
===================

Released July, 2001.

2.5

     Emacs and TeX are no longer mandated by policy to be priority
     standard packages

11.5

     Programs that access docs need to do so via ‘/usr/share/doc’, and
     not via ‘/usr/doc/’ as was the policy previously

12.3

     Putting documentation in ‘/usr/doc’ versus ‘/usr/share/doc’ is now
     a “serious” policy violation.

11.5

     For web servers, one should not provide non-local access to the
     ‘/usr/share/doc’ hierarchy.  If one can’t provide access controls
     for the ‘http://localhost/doc/’ directory, then it is preferred
     that one ask permission to expose that information during the
     install.

7

     There are new rules for build-indep/build-arch targets and there is
     a new Build-Depend-Indep semantic.
