What does dsfg as a part of package names mean?
I know the general format for package names in Debian and Ubuntu. Some packages have additions to the standard numbering scheme with obvious meaning like svn20090426
etc. But also quite a few packages have dsfg in their name (e.g. 2:1.0~rc4~try1.dsfg1-1ubuntu1
) – what does that mean?
Is it just a typo of the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG)?
Solution 1:

A package with 'dfsg'/'dsfg' suffix is one that has been stripped of any files that doesn't follow the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
