This is the version in dpkg 1.4.0 (in dpkg-dev).

debian-manuals (2.1.1.0) unstable;

  * Hard links are forbidden in source packages (they didn't work anyway,
    and can't easily be made to work reliably).
  * Do not use dpkg-divert or update-alternatives without consultation.

  * Do not need to declare dependencies on Essential packages.
  * Restrictions on Pre-Depends stated in policy manual.
  * debian/substvars file is now almost always auto-generated.
  * Shared libraries must be installed stripped.
  * Essential and Pre-Depends put together in policy manual.

  * Explained component-wise (file-wise) vs. package-wise dependencies.
