Changes:
 dpkg (1.18.7) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Add new dpkg-source --require-strong-checksums option and change default.
     There is no point in erroring out on this condition when signature issues
     are only warnings, because we cannot guarantee we have functional keys
     for old signatures. Regression introduced in dpkg 1.18.5. Closes: #823428
   * Stop using several fixed sized buffers for program reporting, which in
     many cases could cause confusing truncation of long messages. Use heap
     allocated formatted strings instead:
     - In start-stop-daemon to report what to stop.
     - In dselect to print main and access methods menu entries.
     - In libdpkg command-line option parsing errors.
     - In libdpkg warning, notice and info reporting.
     - In libdpkg ohshit, ohshitv, ohshite and internerr. But in this case
       fallback to a fixed-size emergency buffer in case of allocation or
       formatting error, so that we can at least print something, even if
       truncated.
     Prompted by Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <mafm@debian.org>.
   * Colorize all fatal-error printing codepaths in libdpkg.
   * Architecture support:
     - Bump the GNU triplet cpu from i386 to i686 to match toolchain changes.
       Thanks to Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>. Closes: #823619
     - Clarify column descriptions in architecture table files.
   * Perl modules:
     - Relax dependency restrictions parsing to allow again sloppy spaces
       around versions, architectures and profile restrictions.
       Regression introduced in 1.18.5. Closes: #823431
     - Add new require_strong_checksums option to Dpkg::Source::Package.
     - Add new tests_dep option to Dpkg::Deps deps_parse() to allow the
       otherwise invalid ‘@’ character in dependencies. To be used when
       parsing the debian/tests/control file.
   * Documentation:
     - Shorten example symbol names in dpkg-gensymbols to avoid a mandb
       warning due to unwrappable lines in translations.
