debian-manuals (2.1.0.0) unstable;

  * Upstream changelog must be installed too (was just recommended).

  * Modification to use dpkg-shlibdeps added to conversion instructions.
  * Packages which are buggy and orphaned but which are preserved for
    compatibility go in contrib.

  * Programmers' manual source package section refers to conversion
    instructions in policy manual.
  * Make it clear that recommending a non-free or contrib package puts a
    package in contrib.
