    - fix crash when --rename is passed  (Closes: #812417)
    - when scanning for directories called 'debian', ignore the ones that

      when uscan is run on a package that has several directories called
      'debian' in its upstream source.
    - fix English phrases when logging download-related actions
  * mk-build-deps:
    - When installing, pass `-o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes` to `apt-get

  * cowpoke:
    + Allow more flexibility for specialised build chroots.
      It's now possible to specify arbitrary 'dist' names, with arbitrary
      special configurations on top of the real BASE_DIST suite.  This means
      it's easy to have things like a chroot for wheezy-backports which will
      be able to pull other deps from the backports repo, while still having
      a pristine wheezy build chroot on the same build host.  Or to have a
      staging chroot for unstable, with extra build deps pulled in from a
      local repository, or installed manually, while still having a pristine
      sid chroot for building other packages to upload.  And it all works the
      same as normal, you just pass --dist=wheezy_bpo to select the chroot.
    + Allow SIGN_KEYID and UPLOAD_QUEUE to be overridden per arch/dist.
      This makes a lot more sense now that the above is easily possible.
      People can use that for private or work (in progress) builds too, and
      this can reduce the chance of accidentally uploading to the wrong place,
      or signing some package not intended for upload with a key that would
      would let it be accepted by dak.
    + Better handling of --debbuildopts.  There were some corner cases for
      this where the required quoting of options could be rather weird in the
      intersection of all the layers it might get passed through. This should
      make it more forgiving and better able to always DTRT.

  [ Adam D. Barratt ]
  * bts:
    + Use a User-Agent header to indicate that the mail was sent via bts,
      rather a comment in the body of the generated e-mail. Thanks Thijs
      Kinkhorst and Josh Triplett. (Closes: #493884)
    + Add a (largely undocumented) --toolname switch to allow tools calling
      bts to add themselves to the User-Agent header.
    + If the BTS specifies a character set when serving an HTML file, add an
      equivalent META tag to the cached file so that it is rendered correctly.
      (pkgreport.cgi's output is now UTF-8).
    + Fix the cache file mangling for status mboxes, maintainer links, links
      to resolved bugs, second and subsequent bug links and version graphs.
      In the process (hopefully) make a number of the mangles more resilient
      to BTS HTML changes.
    + Mention in the manpage that BTS_ONLY_NEW corresponds to --only-new.
    + Ensure that the "clone" command is always passed at least one new bug ID
      (Closes: #497826) and that the new IDs are negative numbers.
    + No longer automatically CC the generated mail to the bug address if a
      comment was made. Similar functionality may be implemented in the BTS
      at a later date but in the meantime we'll avoid creating noise in the
      bug logs. (Closes: #497748)
  * checkbashisms: Flag "read without variable" and "read with options other
    than -r" separately to ensure that all uses are correctly matched. Thanks
    to Frank Lichtenheld for pointing this out via a related bug in lintian.
  * cowpoke: If BUILDD_ROOTCMD is set, use BUILDD_USER for debrsigning, rather
    than root. Patch from Cyril Brulebois. (Closes: #495536)
  * Debbugs.pm: Special-case the "archive" key in select(). The BTS really
    doesn't like it being passed as an array. (Closes: #498201)
  * debcommit:
    + When committing to a bzr repository with a message including bug
      closures, pass corresponding --fixes to bzr. Thanks James Westby
      for the patch. (Closes: #496643)
    + Fix a POD error.
  * debdiff: Add an option allowing control files in debian/ in source packages
    to be compared using wdiff.
  * debsign: When copying .changes files from a remote host, attempt to process
    each copied file if a wildcard was used in the filename (Closes: #491627)
  * nmudiff: Add support for using $DEBFULLNAME as well as $DEBEMAIL when
    generating the From: header for a sendmail-generated mail. Based on a
    patch from Thomas Viehmann. (Closes: #496460)
  * rc-alert: Fix missing characters in a couple of option names in the help
    text.
  * tagpending:
    + Fix a typo in the help output. Thanks Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #494131)
    + Use the new "bts --toolname" switch instead of an in-body comment to
      indicate that tagpending was used.
    + Make the --wnpp option work again. Thanks gregor herrmann.

  * uscan: Exit with the correct status when --watchfile was used.

    Continue with next file if an already existing signature is kept.
  * dget: Make -q really quiet.

  [ Mohammed Adnène Trojette ]
  * nmudiff: Use a friendlier template inspired from Lucas Nussbaum's
    patch. (Closes: #496628)

    + New script by Steve Kemp included to check project names are not
      already taken. (Closes: #484271)
    + Remove reference to a LICENSE file.
    + Don't lose the project name during the check.
  * bts: document that the cache auto-cleaning is overzealous on noatime
    partitions. Patch from intrigeri <intrigeri@boum.org>. (Closes: #488486)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * dpkg-depcheck: Remove -F in order to be compatible with current strace.
    I'm not sure exactly when plain 'strace -f' started being able to follow
    vfork on Linux, but it's at least as long ago as Debian 4.0, possibly
    strace 4.4.93 which would place it before Debian 3.1, so a dependency
    doesn't seem to be necessary. (Closes: #497955)

  [ Patrick Schoenfeld ]
  * Update my email address
  * mk-build-deps: Automatically find debian/control if inside of a package
    source tree and no argument is given

devscripts (2.10.35) unstable; urgency=low

  * checkbashisms: Only flag "local x y" and "local foo=bar" when --posix is
    used, as the use of the constructs is likely to become policy compliant
    in the near future (see Policy bug #473019)
  * debcommit: When --diff is used, don't open an editor to confirm commit
    messages
  * po4a/po/fr.po: Update French manpage translations; thanks Nicolas FRANCOIS

  * checkbashisms:
    + Match the use of "shell echo -n" and "if foo then echo -n"
    + Fix a thinko in the quoted-block detection (thankfully the effects were
      largely benign, unless one was attempting to check libtool...)
    + Fix false positives in the checks for "dirs", "popd", "pushd", "shopt"
      and "ulimit" and the "echo with unsafe backslash", brace expansion and
      invalid function name checks

    + Fix a typo ("ether") in the manpage; thanks Raphael Geissert
  * debcheckout:
    + Improve git repository handling with --file
    + Fix directory naming when using -f and no explicit destination directory
      was specified
  * uscan:
    + Parse sites which embed newlines inside hrefs (horrible, but works)
    + Always treat patterns referring to FTP sites as case-sensitive rather
      than a confusing (and broken) mixture of case-sensitive and
      case-insensitive matching
    + Correctly match directory names in HTMLised FTP proxy listings; the
      equivalent change for filenames was applied in 2.10.11 (#448636)

      permitted by Debian Policy (echo -n, local (with no options or
      assignments) and test / [ using -a or -o )
    + Improve the suggested replacement for $UID and $EUID (Closes: #488190)

    and set the underlying transport object to honour proxies from the
    environment (Closes: #487592)
  * debchange, nmudiff: Replace calls to date -R with strftime(). Thanks
    Stephen Gran (Closes: #486594)
  * debuild: Update the dpkg-buildpackage emulation to use whitespace as the

    warning if an unrecognised option is encountered; based on the
    corresponding patch to Dpkg::BuildOptions

    + Add an example of a newer form of watch file syntax for SourceForge
      based projects to the manpage
    + If the site being checked redirects to another with a directory
      structure that does not match the original site, check for download URLs
      that refer to any of the redirected sites, in addition to the original
      site. Based on a patch by Raphael Geissert (Closes: #487436)
  * debian/control
    + Suggest libnet-smtp-ssl-perl (>= 1.01-2) in order to allow bts to
      support SMTPS. The versioned dependency is required in order to ensure
      that a fixed libio-socket-ssl-perl is used.
    + Add libnet-smtp-ssl-perl to the description of bts
  * README: Add libnet-smtp-ssl-perl to the description of bts

      a package name and version are supplied and either --empty was used
      or the text of a changelog entry was supplied on the command line.
      Based on a patch from Steve Magoun (Closes: #484334)
    + Don't automatically add an "initial release" stanza to a newly created
      changelog if the text of a changelog entry was supplied on the command
      line. Thanks Steve Magoun.

  * licensecheck:
    + Apply patches from Ben Finney to use the copyright parser to determine

  * debian/control:
    + Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0 (no changes)
    + Add bsd-mailx to the mailx | mailutils Recommends as mailx is now
      a transitional package for bsd-mailx
  * debian/{link,rules}: Don't install the fr/man1/dch.1 symlink if the
    corresponding debchange.1 wasn't installed (e.g. due to not being
    sufficiently translated) (Closes: #485094)

devscripts (2.10.29) unstable; urgency=low

  * checkbashisms:
    + Add checks for "sh -r", "sh -D", "sh [-+]O" and "sh with long options"
    + Don't treat scripts with dash or ash shebangs as "/bin/sh scripts", as

      not be wrapped to 70 characters (Closes: #483030)
    + Allow the sendmail command to begin with a tilde
  * mergechanges: Allow changes files with Formats of 1.7 and 1.8 to be merged,

    + Update the check for "function" to more closely match lintian's (and
      therefore be less prone to false positives)
    + Update the check for "echo -e" to only match -n as an extra option
      rather than all theoretically possible options, thus reducing false
      positives
    + Further improve the heredoc detection (to allow the space in "<< 'foo'")
    + Make the check for "process substitution" ignore quoted strings
    + Fix false positives in the tests for "time" and "test with unary -a"
    + Apply various improvements to "quoted block" detection
    + Correctly match 'echo "$(< $0)"'
    + Add checks for "$[" (a deprecated form of arithmetic expansion) and
      the use of the -a or -f arguments to the "readonly" builtin
  * cowpoke: New script to upload a Debian source package to a cowbuilder host
    and build it, optionally also signing and uploading the result to an
    incoming queue (Closes: #479274)
  * dcmd: Correctly handle the "debian-installer" section in a .changes

  * mergechanges: Send error output to stderr rather than stdout
    (Closes: #481583)

  * chdist: Add armel to the list of architectures in the bash completion

    + Modify the "2>&foo" check to allow a valid file descriptor followed

    + Check the initial lines of shell script wrappers. Based on a patch from

    + Fix a couple of the quoted block detection checks so as not to trigger
      on escaped quotes and correctly count quotes within lines containing ''

    + Only rebuild the lists of expressions to search for when required,
      rather than for each line of each file
    + Disable "makefile mode" after checking a makefile if the next file to
      check isn't a makefile
    + Several enhancements to heredoc detection:
      - Heredoc delimiters may contain "non word" characters if the delimiter
        is quoted. As a side-effect, delimiters which match one of the bashism
        expressions may now be flagged due to the order in which checks are
        performed.
      - SUS specifies that a heredoc ends on a line consisting solely of a
        delimiter, so we enforce that and also don't check such lines.
      - Delimiters may now contain regular expression meta-characters.
    + Match shell script wrappers that don't pass on parameters when execing
      (for example for scripts which take all input from STDIN)
    + Add a check for process substitution (using "foo <(bar)")

    rather than checking out the repository (Closes: #469242)

    + Strip single change commit messages by default

    + Make tarball-in-tarball support more intelligent. If a sub-tarball
      named foo.tar.gz unpacks to a directory named foo, the directory is
      renamed to =unpacked-tarN= so that the directory names match across
      the unpacked packages (Closes: #459294)
  * debuild:
    + Add a --prepend-path option allowing $PATH to have directories added
      to it once it has been sanitised, for example to add /usr/lib/ccache.

      non-native if --nmu or --security was used
    + Fix an unescaped hyphen in the manpage
    + If starting a changelog stanza for a new maintainer upload with
      the distribution set to UNRELEASED, check whether the previous
      stanza is also UNRELEASED and, if so, merge them (assuming the
      "changelog" release heuristic is in use) (Closes: #458130)
    + Add non-maintainer uploads (including security and QA uploads),
      backports and the use of local version strings to the list of
      cases where debchange doesn't have to guess the user's intentions
    + Add an --allow-lower-version option which is similar to
      --force-bad-version but allows a regular expression to be specified
      which the new version must match. Based on a patch by Frank Küster
      (Closes: #381159)
    + Modify the version-handling code to generate NMU versions of the
      form X+nmu1 for Debian-native packages
  * checkbashisms:
    + Use Getopt::Long for option parsing
    + Add an option to force checking of scripts that would normally be
      skipped (Closes: #469023)
    + Clarify in the manpage that some issues detected by the script may
      be XSIisms etc rather than strictly bash-specific features
    + Add checks for suspend, caller, complete/compgen, declare/typeset,
      disown, builtin, set -[BHT], alias -p, unalias -a, local with
      options or an assigned value and $BASH(_*). Thanks to Raphael
      Geissert for the patch (Closes: #469050)
    + Modify each of the simple shell variable tests (e.g. $RANDOM) to
      also match ${variable}
    + Identify and ignore multi-line quoted text (Closes: #464641)
    + Reorder a couple of checks so that ". foo $HOSTNAME" is detected as
      source passing arguments rather than misuse of $HOSTNAME
    + Fix a potential false positive on "2>& 1"
    + Fix an unescaped hyphen in the manpage
    + Add a check for function names containing characters other than
      alphanumerics and underscore
    + Modify the "read without variable" test to also catch options other
      than -r. Thanks Luca Capello (Closes: #470696)
    + Add an option to allow flagging of lines which do not contain bashisms
      but which may contain other useful information - for example, checking
      whether $BASH is set before using bashisms or $RANDOM being used as a
      local variable rather than the bash built-in variable (Closes: #470999)
    + Add a check for "VAR+=foo" (Closes: #471001)
    + Also detect <<< inside a quoted string (Closes: #471059)

    + Set $SVKDIFF before calling "svk diff" (Closes: #469238)
    + If there are uncommitted changes to the changelog when --release is
      used, use them as the commit message. Otherwise use the message passed
      with --message or "releasing version X.Y" as currently
      (Closes: #470366)
    + Format commit messages in a more useful manner for git and hg. The
      first change found is unfolded and used as the summary line. If more
      than one change was found then an editor is spawned so that the message
      can be fine-tuned if required (Closes: #402531)
  * deb[ci]:
    + Allow either package names or filenames to be passed on the
      command line (Closes: #469663)

    + Add on_fault handlers to SOAP calls so we can return useful error
      messages

    when it failed to find </ul> at the end of the excuses file due
    to reformatting.

      (tweaked some sed scripts; don't know what was actually wrong :-/ )

    - debrsign: Warn if you passed a changes file but omitted the remote
      address.
    - Update debchange and tagpending for new bts2ldap gateway.
    - Remove ${perl:Depends} from control file, dh_perl is not guessing that
      we do actually need 5.8, and so we end up with a perl (>= 5.8), perl
      dependency, which is wrong.

        the generated message. (Closes: #265445)

    we're in debian/ first, to avoid false positives. (Closes: #264310)
  * tagpending.sh: Steve Kowalik's personal email is s3kr1t, so don't use
    mail(1) to send the control email, but toss it all to bts.pl which will

      (Closes: #249950)
    - Change nonstandard head -1 to head -n 1. (Closes: #231130)
    - Add a versioned dependency on gnupg (>= 1.0.7), when

    - uscan.pl: remove HTTP GET data from downloaded file. (Closes: #247175)
  * New scripts by me:
    - tagpending: Within a source directory, tags all bugs not already
      'pending' to be as such. (associated: tagpending.1)

devscripts (2.7.95.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * bts: fixed some major blunders in bts show command: now shows
    something in offline mode, and multiple instances of bts show work
    concurrently

devscripts (2.7.95) unstable; urgency=low

  * New script:
    - cvs-debrelease: to complete the cvs-* scripts bundle, this one
      replicates the debrelease behaviour
  * bts: remove special tag:<tag> processing, as the BTS understands
    tag:<tag> requests (thanks Colin!)
  * cvs-deb{c,i}: call deb{c,i} directly

  * Really include rc-alert (closes: #221550)
  * debchange: fix UTF-8 problems (closes: #218785)

devscripts (2.7.93) unstable; urgency=low

  * New scripts:
    - cvs-debuild: wrapper for debuild to use cvs-buildpackage, or for
                   cvs-buildpackage to use debuild (closes: #36344 at last!)
    - cvs-debi, cvs-debc: wrapper for debi, debc to use in conjunction
                   with cvs-debuild or cvs-buildpackage; function like
                   debi and debc, but are run from the CVS working
                   directory instead (also in #36344)
    - rc-alert:    list all installed packages which appear in the
                   list of packages with RC bugs

                   orphaned or up-for-adoption lists (closes: #188246)

    --check-dirname-level and --check-dirname-regex along with
    configuration file options to set the default directory name-checking
    behaviour (closes: #218153)
  * lots of scripts: provide --no-conf/--noconf option for all scripts
    which read the devscripts configuration files, and provide useful
    information when the --help option is used (closes: #218224)
  * bts: identify itself in its automatic emails (closes: #199312)
  * bts: dangerous "no-option" behaviour to cleancache changed
  * bts: completely rewrite the caching system using LWP, based on an idea
    gleaned from the original rc-alert together with knowledge of the BTS
    internals ;-); this does give a couple of minor disadvantages, but
    lots of major advantages too (the code is *much* cleaner now, and we
    only need to store each page once!); there is still a slightly messy
    converter to convert the old cache to the new format, but that shall
    go away soonish (probably after 2-3 months or sarge release, whichever
    is sooner), to be replaced with a simple warning
  * bts: support "bts bugs tag:<tag>" (closes: #218494)
  * bts: deprecate "bts close" command, following the lead of debbugs
  * accept EMAIL as well as DEBEMAIL (closes: #219127)
  * debi, debc: rewrote in Perl (there was so much Perl embedded, it
    didn't make sense to leave it in shell script)
  * debi, debc: provide --no-conf option
  * debc/debi: support only listing/installing specified packages (closes:
    #200372)

    #211031)

    (closed #218108, #218234)
  * debuild: more command-line parsing stuff (closes: #218379, #220900)
  * debuild: pass -e<maint> option to debsign (oops!)
  * debuild: deprecate -E option (dpkg-buildpackage now uses it); so only
    -e and -r short options are left
  * debuild: deprecate -L/--lintian option for indicating lintian options,
    replace with --lintian-opts
  * debuild: support linda (closes: #178456)
  * debuild: now always recognises -d/-D options to skip/force use of
    dpkg-checkbuilddeps (closes: #188216)
  * grep-excuses: converted to use wget and caching instead of libwww-perl
    (faster)
  * plotchangelog: provided --cumulative option
  * devscripts.conf.5: new manpage (closes: #217858)
  * removed the dummy build, release and signchanges scripts (they were
    renamed over four years ago)
  * updated the devscripts.conf default file to add new programs to the
    list
  * note that it's really sourced by /bin/bash. not generic /bin/sh (and
    modify the rest of the package accordingly); this cleans up a minor
    inconsistency
  * place symlink to the default config file in doc directory
  * improved tempfile security in plotchangelogs, debdiff, grep-excuses

devscripts (2.7.92) unstable; urgency=low

  * Security fix: be a lot more careful when traversing directory trees
    looking for debian/changelog files; only perform potentially harmful
    actions if the directory name matches the package name (i.e., package

    bug in strace (or perhaps it's in dpkg)
  * Fix dscverify MD5 -> Digest::MD5 (required the old libmd5-perl package
    to work correctly) (closes: #105814)

    master.

    (closes: #51527)

devscripts (2.5.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change Getopt::Long::config back to Getopt::Long::Configure in dch as
    this is a woody package, and I am not going to worry about slink
    compliance any longer.
  * debsign checks to see whether the .dsc file has already been signed
    (closes: #54963)
  * Fixed scp bug when changes file name is given relative to remote home
    directory (closes: #61504)

devscripts (2.5.8) frozen unstable; urgency=low

    (RM: this is an important bug)

devscripts (2.5.7) unstable; urgency=low

devscripts (2.5.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Correct debuild to only pass -spgp and -sgpg options to debsign, not
    -sa and suchlike (closes: #51065)

devscripts (2.5.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added perl shebang test to debian-test suite
  * Recompile to correct perl shebang line (closes: #51039 and all other

devscripts (2.5.3) unstable; urgency=low

devscripts (2.5.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed debrelease back in version 2.5.0 to pass on options to dupload,
    but forgot to say so.

    dpkg-buildpackage/dpkg-architecture -a and -t options (again, done in
    2.5.0)
  * Correct 'eq' -> '-eq' in test command (and it's the third time I've
    made that mistake in as many days...) (closes: #50549)
  * Added a simple debian-test script to check that I get the version
    numbering right....
  * Added build dependencies (which wasn't really that hard...)
  * Correct debdiff problem: forgot to chdir back after looking at first
    changes file
  * debit now runs debian-test *without* su nobody; I believe that it is
    the responsibility of the test programs themselves to handle choosing
    their userid
  * Correct handling of .changes file entries when package is in
    non-US/main/libs or suchlike (really closes: #50281)

devscripts (2.5.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Cleaned up Makefile.am
  * Small correction to mustsetvar logic in uscan

devscripts (2.5.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add -m option to deb(r)sign to parallel the behaviour of
    dpkg-buildpackage; this is obviously desirable, and necessary to
  * make sure that debuild pays attention to any -m, -k, -p or -s options
    given to dpkg-buildpackage when calling debsign (should close #50281),
    and
  * make debsign sign the right .changes file!  (closes: #50134)
  * Teach debdiff to fully handle potato version of dpkg -c output
  * Make debdiff able to handle .changes files as well as just single .deb
    files
  * Make debdiff Perl more idiomatic
  * Allow deb[ic] to handle multiple binary packages by parsing .changes
    file (closes: #33699)
  * Merged deb[ic] into one file, as their functionality is almost
    identical
  * Corrected a few more occurrences of manually parsing changelogs (which
    I should have done when correcting bug #43082)
  * Add Joey's plotchangelog program (closes: #50150)
  * Added a README.i18n file
  * Added James R. Van Zandt's debit script, merged into a single script
    with debi.

devscripts (2.4.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove references to libtricks package from descriptions (close:
    #49937, even though I made the correction the day before the bug
    report arrived!)
  * Only suggest gnupg rather that recommend (closes: #49882)
  * s/sprint/sprintf/ in dscverify (closes: #49721)
  * Add --version and --help options to all programs (and this effectively
    closes: #49554)
  * Add long options to all programs except for deb(r)sign, as the options
    there match those in dpkg-buildpackage (closes: #41850)
  * No longer suggest PGP, as GNU Privacy Guard with the requisite
    extensions should be sufficient
  * Correct debdiff to take account of new format of dpkg-deb -c output
    (and why did it change?)
  * Make sure debian/rules clean really does that (error in Makefile.am)
  * Rewrite of internals of debuild in several places, especially with
    regard to -r handling.  Much nicer logic now.

devscripts (2.4.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Now only Suggests: rather than Recommend: perl-suid (closes: #35635)

    (closes: #34255)
  * Added a rewritten, Perl version, of Yann Dirson's debdiff script

    package (closes: #32736)

    seeming problems
  * Added a new program: signchanges for signing a .changes/.dsc pair
    without needing any of the rest of the source or binary files to be
    present; this is useful for when a developer must build a package on
    a machine other than the one on which he is signing

devscripts (2.0.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Updated man page for uupdate to reflect change in 2.0.5

devscripts (2.0.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Second attempt at correcting critical /tmp security bug (thanks to
    Joey Hess!)

devscripts (2.0.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Disallow debchange and uupdate from being run by root or setuid; this
    prevents possible /tmp exploits (Spotted by Joey Hess)
  * Use the TMPDIR environment variable instead of /tmp if it is set
    (requested by Zephaniah E, Hull)

devscripts (2.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Corrected silly LIBDIR bug in uscan
  * Corrected missing newline character in debchange

devscripts (2.0.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * New maintainer
  * Standards: 2.5.0.0
  * New version numbering scheme: major.minor.patchlevel
  * Changed the name of build to debuild.  build now just prints an error
    message and will disappear completely in the near future.
  * Correct handling of epochs in debc, debi and release (closes: #29855)
  * Use environment variables EDITOR, then VISUAL, and failing that,
    /usr/bin/editor in accordance with policy 5.3 (except that VISUAL is
    not mentioned there)  (closes: #28605)
  * Many modifications to uscan: it now compares version numbers
    correctly, using a Perl script which works in a similar way to
    dpkg --compare-versions, and it no longer has the extra 0 bug
    (closes: #19235, #19467); it no longer uses ncftp but only ftp
    (closes: #20968)
  * uscan now expects the watch file to explicitly indicate how to deduce
    the version number from the filename, by writing the filename as a
    Perl regular expression and enclosing the version number part in (...)
  * uupdate now allows a version number as an argument after the archive
    filename, allowing it to work in harmony with uscan (closes: #20278)
  * uupdate no longer tries to remove *.orig files, as the only ones which
    are created by GNU patch are those where the patch failed, and we
    probably _want_ to keep those (closes: #25774)
  * build rewritten in Perl (now called debuild); has a nicer handling of
    command line options (can accept a -r option with one of binary etc.,
    and doesn't need an explicit -r option if there are other
    dpkg-buildpackage options)  (closes: #27752)
  * debpkg rewritten in Perl as well
  * This package is now an Architecture: all package as there are no
    binaries left
  * debchange now uses the last distributions mentioned in the changelog
    as the default for the new version (closes: #30204)
  * debchange now uses the environment variables DEBFULLNAME and EMAIL as
    the uploader's details if these are set
  * release has been deprecated in favour of dupload, and now just prints
    a message suggesting the use of dupload instead (Closes: #29826,
    #29978)
  * The debchange command line options have been changed.  debchange no
    longer pays attention to the presence of a RELEASED file.  The -i
    option is for Increasing the Debian release number; the -a option is
    for Appending to the current version, and the -v option specifies a
    specific version number.  One of these is mandatory
  * Debchange now adds new changelog entries to the END of the current
    section, rather than the beginning
  * Improved logic of upgrading the Debian release number in debchange
  * Debchange does not supply a release number if there is an explicit
    version number provided
  * Now debchange works on a version of the changelog in /tmp and only
    overwrites the current changelog if everything is OK; this is much
    safer than the original version.  Also, all system calls have their
    return status checked
  * release and build now print error messages suggesting their
    replacements
  * debuild now runs lintian by default if it is installed; there is an
    override facility etc., as described in the manpage (Closes: #18254)
  * Added Roderick Schertler's dscverify program to devscripts
  * Rewrote many bits of many man pages
  * debian/rules and Makefile modified to use debhelper
