The Debian Menu sub-policy
Chapter 1 - About this document
The latest copy of this document can be found in the menu-policy
files in the debian-policy package. They are also available from
the Debian web mirrors at /doc/packaging-manuals/menu-policy/
and from the Debian archive mirrors at /doc/package-developer/menu-policy.txt.gz
.
This document has been extracted and separated from the Menu package
to:
-
Increase the visibility of the Menu sub policy
-
Reduce the coupling between policy and implementation. If this separation is
not made, every time we want to change menu policy, we have to arrange to get
the maintainer to release a new version of the package, even if the package has
not otherwise changed. It also involves yet another layer, making the policy
changes that much harder to implement.
