Use that terminology consistently, and change possibly confusing references to fields in control files to use "control field" uniformly. * Document that the first line of the changelog entry is conventionally an explanation for the upload if the uploader is not the regular maintainer. Patch from Charles Plessy. (Closes: #589605) * Fix typo in upgrading-checklist. (Closes: #588750) * Fix formatting error in footnote to 7.7. (Closes: #589362) * Remove ancient Conflicts and Replaces.
