Do not place entries on the first line with the field name, and place
one item per line, so that adding or removing entries generates as
minimal a diff as possible, and avoids modifying unrelated lines. Use
a single space so that the indentation is always uniform among all
fields.

The standard is called OpenPGP, PGP instead is a specific
implementation. And while depending on the context (such as filename
extensions) using .pgp is better and more neutral than using some
other implementation specific extension (such as .gpg), in this context
the text refers to the generic OpenPGP signatures.

Also include closes for the bugs.

The reference of the GPL about its location on the filesystem is not
part of the GPL notice on the source, so it's confusing to mix this in
the same License field. Instead move it into its own Comment field, as
additional information.

While the GPL-2 recommends using a postal address in the notice to
include in source files, this has already changed once, and the GPL-3
already uses this new more future-proof format where the license is
referenced via an URL on the web.

The example GPL notice  is rather more compact and uses more horizontal
space and thus reduces vertical space. Use the same line wrapping to
achieve the same effect and make it more uniform and compact.

Margarita's copyright and license notices were unnecessarily split
across two stanzas in debian/copyright.  Combine them.  Based on a
patch by Guillem Jover.

These both contain URLs, are the most important references, and nicely
align, so it's nice to get them as early as possible in the file.

This is the same as dbus-session-bus, but for the well-known system bus
described in the D-Bus Specification[1].

dbus, the reference implementation of D-Bus, Provides these since
bullseye. dbus-broker, an independent reimplementation, also Provides
dbus-system-bus in unstable.

The mention of "including service activation" is intended to make it
clearer that some implementation of /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/
activation is required, for example via dbus' setuid helper and
conditional handoff to systemd, or dbus-broker's unconditional handoff
to systemd.

Taking the definitions section in ch. 1 strictly, "upstream releases" refers
to the content of upstream's releases, not the events of upstream releasing.
So when we say that a native source package does not distinguish between
Debian packaging and upstream releases, we mean that there is no distinction
made between the debian/ directory and all the rest of the source code.

This is true if we are thinking about our source package formats, where for a
non-native package there are separate tarballs for debian/ and for the rest of
the source code.  However, the distinction between native and non-native
packages is not inexorably tied to our use of source packages.  If someone
doesn't have source package formats in mind, the distinction between the
debian/ directory and all the rest of the source code is not so salient -- in
a sense, there is always *some* distinction between those, native or not.

The former are much more common.

It could be misunderstood as referring to source-only uploads.  We tend to say
"sourceful uploads" to mean uploads including source packages, but that's not
so accessible to someone new to Debian.
