1046 binary package 'apt' in the man pages (Closes: #205290)

1065 new glibc and gcc deps, so we might as well fix more bugs
1066 * Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)

1070 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
1071 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
1072 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
1073 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
1074 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)

1076 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get

1091 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
1092 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
1093 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
1094 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
1095 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
1097 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
1099 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
1100 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
1102 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
1103 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
1104 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
1105 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
1107 - echo 3 > debian/compat
1108 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
1109 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
1110 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
1111 password (Closes: #199425)
1112 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
1113 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
1114 with our SGML man pages
1115 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst
1116 fragments are properly substituted

1122 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
1123 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
1124 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
1125 decidedly better than 0.5.4.
1126 * Clarify the meaning of the only-source option in apt-get(8)

1131 configuration item (Closes: #168453)

1133 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
1134 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
1135 package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)

1140 * Support TMPDIR in apt-extracttemplates (Closes: #191656)
1141 * Fix ru.po to use a capital letter for the translation of 'Y' so that
1142 YnPrompt works correctly (Closes: #200953). No other translations seem
1143 to have this problem
1144 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
1145 * Only try to clear stdin if it is a tty, to avoid looping if there is
