debian-policy (4.1.1.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Russ Allbery ]
  * Add back missing parentheses around the man page section in man page
    references in the Policy manual, lost in the conversion to
    reStructuredText.  Thanks, Daniel Shahaf.
  * Revert the contents of the policy.html directory to the multi-page
    HTML output.  (Closes: #872895)
  * Move the single-page HTML output to policy-1.html, matching the
    previous file name, and add the supporting _images and _static
    directories to /usr/share/doc/debian-policy.
  * Remove the stray policy.html.tar.gz file from the built package.
    (Closes: #872896)
  * Simplify the build rules for generating policy.html.
  * Remove some stray build rules left over from DocBook Policy.
  * Restructure the document to ensure proper section numbering in info
    and PDF output except for the appendices.  The appendix numbering
    will require a Sphinx change.  (Closes: #872893, #872950)
  * Rename the info document to debian-policy.info to make it less
    generic, and update the PNG file names accordingly.  (Closes: #872900)
  * Reformat the shared libraries chapter (8) to move footnotes to the end
    of the section of their references and use more succinct
    reStructuredText syntax.  Fix some errors in the shlibs syntax and
    examples introduced by the conversion, and missing newlines in the
    footnote illustrating alternative templates that were lost in the
    DocBook translation.
  * Add a footnote documenting a (complex) command that returns the Debian
    package name for a shared library.  Thanks, Jakub Wilk and Julien
    Cristau.  (Closes: #661928)
  * Add build dependency on latexmk.  (Closes: #873125)
