1020 * On second thought, don't copy config.guess and config.sub at all. I'd
1021 rather they always match what is in CVS.

1089 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
1090 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)

1092 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)

1109 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
1110 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
1111 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
1112 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
1113 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)

1129 password (Closes: #199425)

1131 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
1132 with our SGML man pages

1141 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
1142 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's

1151 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
