78    
79      [ Steve Langasek ]

91        including a list of supported file systems.

109        to avoid unnecessary changes and work for translators.

378    
379      [ Frans Pop ]
380      * Make copyright refer explicitly to GPL version 2 as that is the version
381        included in the appendix; add reference to /usr/share/common-licenses to
382        make Lintian happy.
383      * Rename doc-base.TEMPLATE to TEMPLATE.doc-base to avoid its inclusion in
384        the package for the first architecture. Closes: #416304.

401          guided and manual partitioning
402        - network-console: add information about dropped connections and how to
403          avoid that (closes: #458154); add footnote with command to remove a host
