   * Breaks is now supported by the stable release of dpkg, so drop

   * Add references to the sections on Breaks and Conflicts to the section

     approximation.  Thanks, Martin Dorey.  (Closes: #534408)

     the postrm script.  Thanks, Patrick Schoenfeld.  (Closes: #539389)

   * Clarify the description of the Files control field and add examples.
   * Change the wording of the Description and Changes field specifications

   * Merge the package name syntax requirements between the Package and
