    changelog

commit 1323661a15ec533adde90f6a1b7880ccfd5f10b6
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date:   Wed May 27 09:48:16 2026 +0100

    Fix broken links related to build profiles
    
    Several labels were malformed, and the `s-f-Build-Profiles` label was
    referenced but not defined.
    
    Fixing this caused the `s-restrictions` label to be defined in two
    places with entirely different contents, so I renamed the newer one to
    `s-dep-restrictions`.
