 726 apt (0.0.3) experimental; urgency=low
 727
 728   * Added a shlibs.local file to prevent apt from depending on itself.
 729   * Updates to how apt-get handles bad states in installed packages.
 730   * Updated rules to make sure build works from a freshly checked out source
 731     archive.  Building from CVS needs libtool/automake/autoconf, builds from
 732     the distributed source package should have no such dependancy.
