In chapter 5. The Debian package management system on page 233:

In the first paragraph of the subsection titled "Obtaining source package" talks about the two types of source packages in the Debian archive: packages requiring modifications prior to their inclusion in Debian, and packages included directly. The text calls the former the class of "native packages" and terms the latter as "normal packages." It should be the other way around.

Kristin Shoemaker, linuxlibrarian.org: The Debian System is not just a manual. It's a philosophy tome. It's a bible. It's a love letter. And whereas this should not be one's first Linux book, it should be on every Linux enthusiast's reading list, whether one is a Debian user or not.
