"This manual describes the policy requirements for the Debian "
"distribution. This includes the structure and contents of the Debian "
"archive and several design issues of the operating system, as well as "
"technical requirements that each package must satisfy to be included in "
"the distribution."

"This manual also describes Debian policy as it relates to creating Debian"
" packages. It is not a tutorial on how to build packages, nor is it "
"exhaustive where it comes to describing the behavior of the packaging "
"system. Instead, this manual attempts to define the interface to the "
"package management system with which the developers must be conversant.  "

"The terms *must* and *must not*, and the adjectives *required* and "

"*grave*, and *serious* bug severities (normally serious). They are "
"collectively called *Policy requirements*."

"The terms *should* and *should not*, and the adjective *recommended*, "

"severities of *important*, *normal*, and *minor*. They are collectively "

"The adjectives *encouraged* and *discouraged* denote places where Policy "

"severity of *wishlist*. These statements are collectively called *Policy "
"advice*."

"Originally called \"Debian GNU/Linux Policy Manual\", this manual was "

"March 15th, 1997, and reworked/restructured it in April-July 1997. "
"Christoph Lameter contributed the \"Web Standard\". Julian Gilbey largely"
" restructured it in 2001.  Since September 1998, changes to the contents "
"of this document have been co-ordinated by means of the `debian-policy "
