Consensus on debian-policy seems to be that seconding should be restricted to Debian Developers, so remove seconds from non-DDs and add an additional second from that thread for the man page translation change.

Say that sensible-editor and sensible-pager are provided by the sensible-utils package, not by the base system. Thanks, Clint Adams and Steve Langasek. (Closes: #541537)

* Change the wording of the Description and Changes field specifications for *.changes files to more closely match the wording for Files and add more details about the contents of the Description field in a *.changes file.

Emacs wants the unmatched double-quote in the discussion of init scripts to be closed and otherwise treats the rest of the file as if it's in a string. Unconfuse it with an SGML comment.

Previously, all characters in a manual page had to be representable in the legacy encoding for that language due to limitations in groff. The current release of groff removes that limitation, so this restriction can be lifted. Patch from Colin Watson. Debian Bug#537707.

The system administrator may have removed an override, and --remove will fail if none exist. Suggest checking first to see whether the override exists before removing it. Thanks, Patrick Schoenfeld and Guillem Jover.

install-info now uses dpkg hooks, so remove all requirements for running install-info in package maintainer scripts. Document the necessary info directory information and provide Texinfo modification instructions in a footnote. Explicitly forbid packages from including /usr/share/info/dir.

In the Package field description, reference the syntax for source package names in the Source field description rather than repeating it. Add a cross-reference to Package in the Source field description. Reported by Jonathan Yu.

Allow the Binary control field to wrap in both *.dsc and *.changes files, since we have some source packages that produce lines so long that GnuPG is no longer willing to sign the file. Clearly state that the syntax is different depending on whether the field appears in a *.dsc file or a *.changes file. Thanks to Raphaël Hertzog for the report. Debian Bug#533852.

Avoid the term kibibytes, which is controversial. Document that Installed-Size is only an estimate and may vary based on block size, file system properties, and actions taken by maintainer scripts.

Expand the list of applications that may use /etc/X11 for configuration files to include session managers, but change this section to may from should. There doesn't appear to be a reason to encourage this going forward. Reword the section for more direct phrasing.
