Sorry if this has already been asked many times... I currently run dpkg 1.2.14. I've read various posts about the new 1.3 version.
Do I need to upgrade (I think yes) to make new packages in 1.3 format to be included in Debian 1.2 ? Do I need to change the package debian.* files to the new Debian policy (version 2.1.1.0 (dpkg 1.4.0), 12 September 1996). I've read a post saying that the new Debian policy shouldn't be implemented yet. Is that right ? Thanks, Phil.
