Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.3.0
Severity: wishlist

$ zgrep -A2 'author of this' /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/policy.txt.gz | sed -e 's/^\( *\)//;s/.*(/(/' | fmt
(the author of this manual has heard of a package whose versions went
`1.1', `1.2', `1.3', `1', `2.1', `2.2', `2' and so forth).


This statement is in no way normative, please move it into a footnote.
