     The list of archive sections has been significantly expanded.  See
     this debian-devel-announce message(1) for the list of new sections
     and rules for how to categorize packages.

     All packages must use debconf or equivalent for user prompting,
     though essential packages or their dependencies may also fall back
     on other methods.

5.6.1

     The requirements for source package names are now explicitly
     spelled out.

9.1

     Legacy XFree86 servers no longer get a special exception from the
     FHS permitting ‘/etc/X11/XF86Config-4’.

9.1.3

     Removed obsolete dependency requirements for packages that use
     ‘/var/mail’.

11.8.5

     Speedo fonts are now deprecated.  The X backend was disabled
     starting in lenny.

12.5

     The GNU Free Documentation License version 1.3 is included in
     common-licenses and should be referenced from there.
