503 This broke builds where the clean target was run with different

505 * On second thought, don't copy config.guess and config.sub at all. I'd
506 rather they always match what is in CVS.

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

616 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
617 with our SGML man pages
