Package: packaging-tutorial
Version: 0.6
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

While translating this package to German the following
fixes/improvements were noticed:
-msgid "\\texttt{pkg\\_ver.orig.tar.gz} : upstream source"
+msgid "\\texttt{pkg\\_ver.orig.tar.gz}: upstream source"

-msgid "\\texttt{pkg\\_debver.diff.gz} : patch to add Debian-specific changes"
+msgid "\\texttt{pkg\\_debver.diff.gz}: patch to add Debian-specific changes"

-msgid "\\texttt{pkg\\_debver.debian.tar.gz} : tarball with the Debian changes"
+msgid "\\texttt{pkg\\_debver.debian.tar.gz}: tarball with the Debian changes"


Avoiding links to www.debian.org with .html, as this breaks translated
versions if present, e.g. in:
-"Debian Policy Manual, chapter 6\\\\ {\\footnotesize \\url{http://www.debian.";
-"org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html}}"
+"Debian Policy Manual, chapter 6\\\\ {\\footnotesize \\url{http://www.debian.";
+"org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts}}"

Similarly, use links to www.debian.org instead of wiki.debian.org, as the former
is more likely to be translated, e.g. in
-"\\textbf{Debian Maintainer (DM):}\\\\ Permission to upload your own packages"
-"\\\\ See \\url{http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer}";

Unfortunately I could not find a good link on www.debian.org for this content.
Probably the wiki.debian.org content should be moved to www.debian.org first
