     Closes: #1020267
   * Prefer "portion" to "stanza" when describing parts of the Vcs-Git
     header to avoid confusion with blocks of fields in deb822.  Thanks to
     Charles Plessy for pointing out the inconsistency.
 .
   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Terminology fixes.  (Closes: #1020248)
     - Refer to blocks of fields in deb822 files as stanzas, not
       paragraphs.  This aligns terminology with dpkg and reduces confusion
       with text paragraphs found in, for example, the Description field.
   * Policy: Replace references to PGP with OpenPGP.  (Closes: #1020243)
   * Whitespace and quoting fixes.  (Closes: #1020238)
     - Remove trailing whitespace and convert tabs to spaces in all files.
     - Avoid use of unbalanced single quotes.
   * copyright-format: Formatting improvements.  (Closes: #1020241)
     - Put Source after Format in examples.
     - Reformat GPL examples to be more compact.
     - Use URLs rather than postal addresses in GPL examples.
     - Move the comment about where the GPL can be found on Debian systems
       to a separate Comment block in examples, rather than including it in
       the License text.
     - Apply wrap-and-sort -ast formatting to Files fields in the examples.
 .
   [ Daniel Shahaf ]
   * Add an English description of the format of bug closers in the
     changelog file, alongside the Perl-compatible regular expression.
