In addition to those, which carry the weight of policy, there is the Debian Developer's Refer 

ence. This document describes procedures and resources for Debian developers, but it is not

normative; rather, it includes things that don't belong in the Policy, such as best practices for

developers.

The Developer's Reference is available in the

developers reference

package. It's also

available from the Debian web mirrors at

/doc/developers reference/ (

http://www.

debian.org/doc/developers reference/

)
