447 * Oh well, apt isn't going to make it into testing anytime soon due to

449 * Fix typo in example ftp-archive.conf (Closes: #203295)
450 * Mention default setting for --all-versions (Closes: #203298)

453 * Patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> to switch from
454 dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. Fixes the problem where the
455 pt_BR man page was installed in the wrong location (Closes: #194558)
456 * Move the French apt-ftparchive man page into apt-utils where it
457 belongs. apt-utils Replaces: apt (<< 0.5.9)
458 * Write records from "apt-cache show" using fwrite(3) rather than
459 write(2), in case for some reason the entire record doesn't get

474 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
475 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
476 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
477 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,
478 it was being fooled because of signedness issues with toupper(3)
479 (Closes: #194614)
480 * apt Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig
481 (Closes: #146667)
482 * Clean up whitespace in translated strings in ru.po, which messed up
483 indentation (some other translations probably have similar problems)
484 (Closes: #194282)
485 * Run ispell -h over the man page sources and fix a bunch of typos
486 * Use debian/compat rather than DH_COMPAT
487 * Update to debhelper compatibility level 3
488 - remove ldconfig calls from debian/{postinst,postrm} as dh_makeshlibs
489 will add them
490 - echo 3 > debian/compat
491 - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3)
492 * Exclude '.#*' from cvs-build
493 * Let the ftp method work with ftp servers which do not require a
494 password (Closes: #199425)
495 * Build-depend on debhelper >= 4.1.62, because we need the fix for
496 #204731 in order for dh_installman to work correctly
497 with our SGML man pages
498 * Move dh_makeshlibs ahead of dh_installdeb so that its postinst

514 configuration item (Closes: #168453)
515 * Improve build-depends handling of virtual packages even further, so that
516 it will now also try to satisfy build-depends on virtual packages if they
517 are not installed. Note that this only works if there is only one
518 package providing the virtual package, as in other cases (Closes: #165404)
