* Improve the documentation of maintainer script actions for diversions

for the report and Raphaël Hertzog for the review. (Closes: #483418)

uniformly. Thanks, Julian Andres Klode. (Closes: #492624)
* Add --wildcards to the sample tar command in appendix B.1 for
extracting the package copyright file, adjusting for new tar option
behavior. Thanks, Yan Morin. (Closes: #503685)
* Reword the requirement that maintainer scripts exit with a zero
status on success to avoid double-negatives.
* Include the full name of each menu category rather than only the
portion relative to the parent heading to be clearer in long category
lists. Thanks, Christoph Berg. (Closes: #511804)
* Build-Depend on texlive rather than tetex-extra. texlive appears to
be sufficient for how Policy uses debiandoc-sgml and pulls in far
fewer packages.
* Remove the postinst and prerm scripts. doc-base registration is now
handled by triggers and no longer required and removal of /usr/doc
links was completed long ago.
* Reference GPL-2 rather than the GPL symlink in debian/copyright.
