    Closes: #1074014
    - Rewrite Helmut's text to avoid mentioning the merged-/usr transition
      by name, and to avoid the transition-specific "aliased paths" jargon.
      My hope is that this will be better for future readers.
  * 10.1: Delete paragraph about compatibility symlinks /path -> /usr/path.
    This paragraph is effectively superseded by the preceding Policy change.
  * Fix formatting issue in 10.2 (Closes: #1094664).
    Thanks to Roberto C. Sanchez for the report.
  * Fix typo in 2.2.2 (Closes: #1098339).
    Thanks to Ahmed Siam for the report.
