Bug#753492: refcard: Typo, wording and item updates

[Guillem Jover]

Source: refcard
Source-Version: 5.0.9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi!

Here's a patch, which fixes a typo, makes the Debian distribution
references system-neutral now that we have other non-GNU/Linux released
architectures (although the ip command is Linux-specific), and switches
the debsums item to use the new native «dpkg -V».

(The <https://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals> still has system
specific references to Debian GNU/Linux.)

Note that I've not build-tested it, as the Build-Depends where quite big.
And sorry for bundling this in a single patch, but splitting it with svn
is rather painful, but I could do that if you wanted though.

Thanks,
Guillem

should we wait for this to be available in a stable release prior to
advertising it widely?

$ dpkg -V
dpkg: error: unknown option -V

"but the refcard told me!!1!"

(of course, this update might not get uploaded until some time during the
jessie freeze anyway)

The typo fix got fixed independently now. The reset still applies, and
I've split it into logical patches, and added some more corrections,
namely:

* Switch URLs to new canonical addresses and https.
* Update apt frontend command usage.

And for this I ended up using git-svn. :)
