 Rough Guide to doing Stable Point Releases in Debian
 ----------------------------------------------------
 
-o use halle to get rid of obsolete .changes
-o [also check for obsolete .changes caused by melanie-ing from p-u]
-o Install, reject and remove packages as directed by the SRM using lauren
+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 Update dak.conf (at least the section for Reject-Proposed-Updates,
+  before using 'dak reject-proposed-updates')
+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)
 
   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 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 (see below)
+o If you installed a debian-installer upload; migrate the relevant
+  installer-*/$release directory from proposed-updates to stable.
+  (Including potentially removing older versions)
 
-o Comment out "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
-o Run apt-ftparchive generate apt.conf.stable[-non-US]
-o Copy tree/directory for stable to apt.conf[-non-US]
+o Decruft stable in coordination with SRMs
 
-o Run 'jenna -s stable'
-o Run 'ziyi stable'
+o Do anything in proposed-updates/TODO o Close any applicable stable bugs
+  (hint: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=ftp.debian.org&include=etch)
+o Update version number in README, README.html and dists/README (ftp-master only)
+o Update the 'Debian<n>.<n>r<n>' symlink in dists/
+o Clean up dists/stable/ChangeLog (add header, basically)
+o Update version fields in dak.conf
+o Update fields in suite table in postgresql (see below)
 
-o Remove tree/directory for stable from apt.conf[-non-US]
-o Uncomment "Untouchable" in katie.conf[-non-US]
+o Run 'dak make-suite-file-list --force -s stable'
+o Run apt-ftparchive generate apt.conf.stable
+o Run 'dak generate-releases --force-touch --apt-conf apt.conf.stable stable'
 
-Yes, this sucks and more of it should be automated.
