493 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
494 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
495 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
496 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
497 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)

499 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get
500 written by a single write(2)

508 at the same time as the package which suggests/recommends them

513 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
514 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
515 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
516 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
517 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
518 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
520 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
522 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
523 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
525 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
526 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
527 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
528 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
530 - echo 3 > debian/compat
531 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
532 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
533 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
534 password (Closes: #199425)
535 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
536 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
537 with our SGML man pages
538 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
539 fragments are properly substituted

567 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
