Ubuntu Policy Manual - I just started reading the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuArchitecture which outlines the overall architecture of Ubuntu. Got to the section that discusses the Ubuntu Policy Manual and that it is derived from the Debian Policy Manual, which I think is great. I then noticed that at the bottom of the Ubuntu Policy Manual page and noticed that the document has not been changed since 2009-06-19. I then went and took a look at the Debian Policy Manual and noticed it was just updated on 2011-04-07.

Could be that no changes have been necessary, but given the tight symbiosis between Ubuntu and Debian I would think that there would have been a more recent change date for the Ubuntu Policy Manual. It could be that the Ubuntu Core Developers have just not had a reason to updated the document in over two years, but just looking to better understand why.

When I go to the page in your link I see this at the bottom of the page

So, the answer is - not so out of date as it used to be.

That's still over a year old. – jrg♦ Aug 24 '11 at 17:13
Or maybe the question should be, "When was the Ubuntu Policy Manual last reviewed?" – Justin Andrusk Aug 25 '11 at 3:22
