Hello everyone,

I just (deb)pushed version 4.7.3.0 of the Debian Policy Manual and
related documents to sid.  Below you will find the significant normative
changes from the previously-announced release of Policy (4.7.2.0).
There aren't many but we haven't had a release since February so I
thought I should push these out.

=3D*=3D*=3D*=3D

5.6.6
    It is no longer recommended to specify the Priority field in source
    package control files.  dpkg now defaults it to ``optional``.

5.6.32 & 5.6.33
    New sections documenting the ``Git-Tag-Tagger`` and ``Git-Tag-Info``
    fields in Debian source control and ``.changes`` files.

=2D-=20
