| 79 | > the Version: line |
| 80 | > names the release version. For example, the packages in the tree |

| 82 | > there is normally no version number for the testing and unstable |

| 91 | > the Component: line |
| 92 | > names the licensing component associated with the packages in the |

| 95 | > tree are from the main component, which entails that they are |
| 96 | > licensed under terms listed in the Debian Free Software Guidelines. |
| 97 | > Specifying this component in the APT preferences file would require |

| 101 | > |
| 102 | > the Origin: line |
| 103 | > names the originator of the packages in the directory tree of the |
