22.2 Version 4.3.0
==================

Released December, 2018.

2.3 & 4.5

     In cases where a package’s distribution license explicitly permits
     its copyright information to be excluded from distributions of
     binaries built from the source, a verbatim copy of the package’s
     copyright information should normally still be included in the
     copyright file, but it need not be if creating and maintaining a
     copy of that information involves significant time and effort.

4.9

     Required targets must not write outside of the unpacked source
     package tree, except for TMPDIR, /tmp and /var/tmp.

4.17

     Packages should not contain a non-default series file.  That is,
     dpkg’s vendor-specific patch series feature should not be used for
     packages in the Debian archive.

10.1

     Binaries should be stripped using ‘strip --strip-unneeded
     --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note’ (as dh_strip
     already does).

10.1

     It is no longer suggested nor recommended to use ‘install -s’ to
     strip binaries, because it gets several things wrong.

10.2

     When stripping shared libraries with strip(1), you should
     additionally pass ‘--remove-section=.comment
     --remove-section=.note’ (as dh_strip already does).

virtual

     New ‘dbus-session-bus’ and ‘default-dbus-session-bus’ virtual
     packages for a package providing the D-Bus session bus, and for
     Debian’s preferred D-Bus implementation, respectively.
