  * Fix spelling of sysv-rc                                closes: Bug#215558
  * [AMENDMENT 28/03/2004] ${perl:Depends} documentation

                                                           closes: Bug#202054
  * Clarified that section 3.2.1 refers to the date based postion of  the

    developers leeway in selecting date based version numbers for their
    packages, without loosing the advantages of the format specified in
    this section.                                          closes: Bug#248618
