Sync Request ACK'd

** Description changed:

  Please sync debian-policy 3.8.1.0 (universe) from Debian unstable
  (main).
  
  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
- It instead needs to be merged, if necessary. The goal of this bug report 
- is to push a new version of debian-policy based on 3.8.1.x into Jaunty.
+ The Build-Depends on texlive-latex-extra was added in Debian.
  
- Changelog since current jaunty version 3.8.0.1ubuntu2:
+ Changelog since current Karmic version 3.8.1.0ubuntu1:

-   * Improve the documentation of maintainer script actions for diversions
-     in the informative appendix to allow for addition of a new diversion
-     on upgrade and handle error cases correctly.  Thanks to Olivier Berger
-     for the report and Raphaël Hertzog for the review.  (Closes: #483418)
-   * Clarify the meaning of architecture restrictions on build dependencies
-     in the presence of alternatives.  Thanks to Guillem Jover for the
-     explanation and review and Emilio Pozuelo Monfort and Don Armstrong
-     for wording review.  (Closes: #163666)
-   * Change the term "category" to "archive area" when referring to main,
-     contrib, and non-free.  This is closer to the wording of the Social
-     Contract.  (Closes: #473439)
-   * Use <user>:<group> notation rather than <user>.<group> notation in
-     multiple places.  Thanks, Kurt Roeckx.  (Closes: #488039)
-   * Fix typo in 3.8.0.0 upgrading-checklist entry.  Patch from Kobayashi
-     Noritada.  (Closes: #487701)
-   * Mention debugging packages as an explicit example of packages with
-     extra priority.  Thanks, Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #491985)
-   * Clarify that translation is only required for user-visible debconf
-     messages.  Capitalize "Debian Configuration Management Specification"
-     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.
