Changes:
 dpkg (1.18.8) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Do not disable PIE buildflags on */kFreeBSD anymore. Closes: #823877
     Thanks to Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>.
   * Add new long options in dpkg-buildpackage for any short option that is
     a useful configurable candidate.
   * Add configuration file support to dpkg-buildpackage, as buildpackage.conf
     under either the dpkg system or user configuration directories.
     Closes: #539692, #765494
   * Check that debian/tests/control is a regular file before parsing it.
   * Generate Testsuite-Triggers field from test dependencies in dpkg-source
     into .dsc files. Based on a patch by Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>.
     Closes: #779559
   * Add new dpkg-source --no-overwrite-dir extraction option. Closes: #826334
   * Fix number of entries computation returned by sysctl() on */kFreeBSD in
     start-stop-daemon.
   * Set return buffer length for sysctl(2) calls on */kFreeBSD in
     start-stop-daemon.
   * Abstract ar archive handling behind a new struct dpkg_ar and functions.
   * On dpkg --force-chrootless only set changedir to instdir if defined.
     Thanks to Niall Walsh <niallwalsh@celtux.org>. Closes: #824542
   * Set primary group to 0 in dpkg when running as root.
     Reported by Stuart Prescott <stuart@debian.org>.
   * Activate file triggers for conffiles on purge, which has never happened
     before. Before dpkg 1.17.0, conffiles were triggered on removal, which
     was obviously wrong. Reported by Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
   * Fix strtol() errno check when parsing the COLUMNS envvar in dpkg-query.
     Thanks to Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>. Closes: #827265
   * Use new GNU tar --clamp-mtime option in dpkg-deb to make sure no file in
     binary packages has an mtime later than the given time. Closes: #759886
   * Use the same timestamp for the ar container as for tarball mtime clamping
     in dpkg-deb.
   * Set ar timestamp and tar mtime clamping to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if defined
     in dpkg-deb. Base on a patch by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
   * Preset build timestamp to latest changelog entry in dpkg-buildpackage,
     by setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable if it is not already
     defined. Based on a patch by Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
     Closes: #759999
   * Do not use the debian/rules build target fallback when building both
     architecture independent and dependent packages in dpkg-buipdpackage.
   * Use architecture «all» as part of the .changes filename when building
     architecture independent binaries and no architecture dependent binaries.
     Closes: #826161
   * Do not emit warnings from dpkg-genchanges for automatic debug symbol
     packages that are not found in debian/control.
   * Export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH from pkg-info.mk makefile snippet.
     Closes: #824572
   * Architecture support:
     - Add TILE-Gx support to cputable. Closes: #823167
       Thanks to Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>.
   * Perl modules:
     - Use warnings::warnif() instead of carp() for deprecated warnings.
     - Add new format_range() method and deprecate dpkg() and rfc822() methods
       in Dpkg::Changelog.
     - Replace changelog program parsers with perl modules.
     - Add a getter for the Time::Piece object in Dpkg::Changelog.
     - Add new Timestamp field to Dpkg::Changelog output, which ends up on
       dpkg-parsechangelog's output.
     - Validate source version in set_version_substvars()'s Dpkg::Substvars
       method.
     - Revert "Dpkg::Conf: Switch implementation to be hash based", as this
       change broke backwards compatibility in multiple ways. The format_argv
       option was set by default, the order was not preserved, which was
       important for dpkg.cfg files, and duplicate option names stopped being
       supported. Add regression tests to avoid similar changes in the future.
       Closes: #824938
     - Add support for system and user config loading in Dpkg::Conf.
     - Add support for autopkgtest control files, with new CTRL_TESTS control
       type, new recognized fields to Dpkg::Control::Fields, and new modules
       Dpkg::Control::Tests and Dpkg::Control::Tests::Entry. Also update
       Dpkg::Index to support these.
     - Fix Dpkg::Deps so that architecture qualifiers only imply one another
       if they are the same. Closes: #745366, #827628
     - Add support for new environment variable DEB_BUILD_PATH to be able to
       control the path in the fixdebugpath feature in Dpkg::Vendor::Debian.
     - Preserve order when prepending shared library paths in Dpkg::Shlibs.
       This fixes the order of paths passed via dpkg-shlibdeps -l option.
       Closes: #823805
     - Check whether dependency restrictions are implied in Dpkg::Deps::Simple.
       Thanks to Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>. Closes: #827633
     - Disable upstream tar signature when building format 1.0 source packages
       in Dpkg::Source::Package::V1, as the current stable dpkg series do not
       support extracting them.
     - Preset Last-Update field in patch header template with current time in
       Dpkg::Source::Package::V2. Thanks to Daniel Shahaf <danielsh@apache.org>.
       Closes: #828146
   * Packaging:
     - Disable libmd usage in Debian and derivatives for now.
   * Build system:
     - Stop allowing to set deprecated bzip2 compressor as dpkg-deb default.
     - Use libmd automatically if available.
     - Uniformize library build options, from --with-zlib to --with-libz,
       --with-bz2 to --with-libbz2 and --with-selinux to --with-libselinux.
   * Test suite:
     - Bump perlcritic ValuesAndExpressions::RequireNumberSeparators minimum
       to 99999.
     - Add new pod-spell unit test.
     - Refactor common unit test checks for needed things into Test::Dpkg.
     - Accept perl's Lancaster Consensus AUTHOR_TESTING variable.
     - Add new minimum perl version unit test.
     - Add new synopsis unit test.
     - Add unit tests for dependency simplification with build profiles.
   * Documentation:
     - Improve dpkg-buildpackage(1) on environment expectations.
     - Clarify the format of the db:Status-Abbrev virtual field in
       dpkg-query(1). Closes: #824515
     - Document the tar entry size limitation for deb(5) format.
     - Document interaction between PIE and libraries in dpkg-buildflags(1).
       Based on text by Christian Seiler <christian@iwakd.de>.
     - Merge ENVIRONMENT sections in dpkg-buildflags(1).
     - Document various long options in dpkg-source --help output.
     - Move dpkg-source -q option from “Build options” to “General options”
       section in --help output.
     - Clarify shared library search order in dpkg-shlibdeps(1).
     - Remove most remaining AUTHOR sections from man an POD, as they are
       strongly discouraged, for being redundant, tending to get out-of-sync,
       and their format being inconsistent. In addition most got already
       removed in the past for the man pages.
     - Mark perlcritic as an optional author test dependency in the README.
     - Fix example code in Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle SYNOPSIS.
