1023 installed (Closes: #200395)
1024 * Patch to update pt_BR man page for apt_preferences(5) from Andre Luis
1025 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
1026 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
1027 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
1028 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
1029 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
1031 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
1033 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
1034 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)

1037 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
1038 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
1039 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
1041 - echo 3 > debian/compat
1042 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
1043 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
1044 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
1045 password (Closes: #199425)
1046 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
1047 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
1048 with our SGML man pages
1049 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
1050 fragments are properly substituted

1056 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
1057 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
1058 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
1059 decidedly better than 0.5.4.

1078 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
