156    
157      [ Frans Pop ]
158      * Make copyright refer explicitly to GPL version 2 as that is the version
159        included in the appendix; add reference to /usr/share/common-licenses to
160        make Lintian happy.
161      * Rename doc-base.TEMPLATE to TEMPLATE.doc-base to avoid its inclusion in
162        the package for the first architecture. Closes: #416304.

177          the selected location can be set (as that is a FAQ)
178        - improve readability of partman section by using separate subsections for
179          guided and manual partitioning
180        - network-console: add information about dropped connections and how to
181          avoid that (closes: #458154); add footnote with command to remove a host
182          from the known_hosts file
183      * howto, preseed: update for reordering of the installation procedure.
184      * Change build dependency on gs-common to ghostscript.
