retitle 489135 developers-reference: uses debian-policy style wording
stop
In my opinion developers-reference should not use must/should/may
wording, because this makes readers confuse developers-reference with
debian-policy.
For example, in developers-reference 3.4.0 :
file:///usr/share/doc/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-origtargz
"must contain detailed information how the repackaged source was
obtained, and how this can be reproduced in the
debian/copyright."
The word "must" gives the impression that it's a standard to which
Debian software must comply.
Please consider rephrasing the must/should/may parts in
developers-reference to convert these parts to just best-practice
recommendations. Or, please consider moving those parts to
debian-policy.
