587 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
588 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
589 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)

593 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
594 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)

604 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
605 password (Closes: #199425)

607 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
608 with our SGML man pages
609 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
610 fragments are properly substituted
