Hello everyone,

I just pushed version 4.7.1.0 of the Debian Policy Manual and related
documents to the binary-NEW queue for sid.
Below you will find the significant normative changes from the
previously-announced release of Policy (4.7.0.0).

I am pleased to announce that this release includes a new Simplified
Chinese translation of many chapters of the Debian Policy Manual, thanks
to Fei Ding and Ke Zhang.

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.

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.

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.

12.1
    Packages (other than manpage readers) must not require the existence
    of any files under /usr/share/man.

12.2
    Packages (other than info readers) must not require the existence of
    any files in /usr/share/info.
