 Rough Guide to doing Stable Point Releases in Debian
 ----------------------------------------------------
 
-o Install, reject and remove packages as directed by the SRM 
+o run 'dak clean-proposed-updates' to get rid of obsolete .changes
+  from p-u ['dak clean-proposed-updates *.changes' from within p-u]
+o [also check for obsolete .changes caused by 'dak rm'-ing from p-u]
+o Install, reject and remove packages as directed by the SRM using
+  'dak process-accepted' (installs), 'dak reject-proposed-updates'
+  (rejects) and 'dak rm' (removals)
 
-  NB1: !! you must run katie from within dists/proposed-updates; katie
-  takes it's "I'm doing a point release" cue from the CWD. !!
-
-  NB2: removing packages are not logged to the changelog; you need to
-       do that byhand.
+  NB: removing packages are not logged to the stable ChangeLog; you
+      need to do that byhand.
 
 o Do anything in proposed-updates/TODO
-o Close any applicable potato bugs
-  (hint: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=ftp.debian.org&include=potato)
+o Close any applicable woody bugs
+  (hint: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=ftp.debian.org&include=woody)
 o Update version number in README and dists/README (ftp-master only)
 o Update the 'Debian<n>.<n>r<n>' symlink in dists/
 o Clean up dists/ChangeLog (add header, basically)
-o Update version fields in katie.conf[-non-US]
-o Update fields in suite table in postgresql
+o Update version fields in dak.conf[-non-US]
+o Update fields in suite table in postgresql (see below)
 
-o Comment out "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
-o Run 'jenna -s stable'
+o Comment out "Untouchable" in dak.conf[-non-US]
+o Run 'dak make-suite-file-list -s stable'
 o Run apt-ftparchive generate apt.conf.stable[-non-US]
-o Copy tree/directory for stable to apt.conf[-non-US], run ziyi, remove it from apt.conf[-non-US]
-o Uncomment "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
+o Run 'dak generate-releases stable'  ** FIXME: requires apt.conf.stable stanza for stable in apt.conf
+                    ** FIXME: must be run as dak
+o Uncomment "Untouchable" in dak.conf[-non-US]
 
 Yes, this sucks and more of it should be automated.
