164    
165      [ Frans Pop ]
166      * Make copyright refer explicitly to GPL version 2 as that is the version
167        included in the appendix; add reference to /usr/share/common-licenses to
168        make Lintian happy.
169      * Rename doc-base.TEMPLATE to TEMPLATE.doc-base to avoid its inclusion in
170        the package for the first architecture. Closes: #416304.

187          guided and manual partitioning
188        - network-console: add information about dropped connections and how to
189          avoid that (closes: #458154); add footnote with command to remove a host
190          from the known_hosts file
