495 * Move comment for ListParser::ParseDepends into the right place
496 * Don't preserve ownership when copying config.guess and config.sub.
497 This broke builds where the clean target was run with different
498 privileges than the rest of the build (i.e., root) (Closes: #212183)
499 * On second thought, don't copy config.guess and config.sub at all. I'd
500 rather they always match what is in CVS.

589 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
590 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
591 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
592 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)

610 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
611 with our SGML man pages

620 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and

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