Update Standards-Version
Checklist:
Version 4.7.2
10.1
A change made the previous release of Policy is relaxed:
Packages that already install programs to /usr/games, where another package
installs a program of the same with different functionality to a different
directory on the default PATH, may continue to do so.
Packages must not install any newly conflicting programs to /usr/games, and
packages already doing so are encouraged to move these programs to
non-conflicting names.
A: No files under /usr/games
Version 4.7.1
10.1
Two different packages must not install programs with different functionality
to the same filenames, even names under different directories, when the
directories are on the default PATH.
A: Ack.
10.1
Packages must not install files to directories like /bin, /lib, /lib* and /sbin
which are now symbolic links to corresponding directories under /usr. Packages
may assume that /bin, /lib and /sbin are always symlinks, and that files under
/usr/bin, /usr/lib and /usr/sbin are accessible via these aliases.
A: No files under these forbidden directories
10.9
Packages should not require the existence of any files under /usr/share/locale
in order to function in a C or C.UTF-8 locale.
A: Ack
12.1
Packages (other than manpage readers) must not require the existence of any
files under /usr/share/man.
A: Ack
12.2
Packages (other than info readers) must not require the existence of any files
in /usr/share/info.
A: Ack
Version 4.7.0
2.2.1
Document that source packages in the main archive area may build binary
packages in the contrib archive area, although this is discouraged unless the
source package is inconvenient to split. This does not relax the requirement
that source packages in main must not have build dependencies outside of main.
A: All packages in main
2.2.2
The non-free-firmware archive area has been added.
A: Ack
3.9
Maintainer scripts should use native overriding mechanisms instead of
dpkg-divert, wherever possible. Maintainer scripts must not divert
configuration files used by systemd components.
Maintainer scripts must not use the alternatives system for systemd
configuration files.
A: No maintainer scripts
4.8
Hard links are permitted in source packages.
A: Ack
4.9
For packages in contrib, and for packages in non-free with Autobuild: yes,
required targets in d/rules are no longer permitted to attempt network access.
Previously, only packages in main had this restriction.
A: All packages in main
5.6.13
The Description field is not present in .changes files if no binary packages
are being uploaded.
A: Ack
5.6.19
The Binary field is not present in .changes files if no binary packages are
being uploaded.
A: Ack
6.3
Packages that automatically start or stop system services must include systemd
units unless the service is only intended for use on systems running
alternative init systems. Previously, systemd also supported init scripts, but
that support is being removed.
A: No services
Version 4.6.2
3.8
Essential packages are only required to provide their core functionality when
unconfigured if they had previously been configured at least once.
A: Not an essential package
6.5 & 6.6
The new package version is provided as an additional argument following the old
package version to several preinst, prerm, and postrm maintainer script
actions.
A: Ack, but no maintainer scripts
11.8.4
When computing the priority for alternatives for /usr/bin/x-window-manager,
start with a priority of 40, not 20, and don’t increase the priority based on
support for the (obsolete) Debian menu system.
A: Not an alternative for /usr/bin/x-window-manager
