* Fix dpkg logging regression introduced in 1.20.0:

to avoid printing garbage.
- libdpkg: Open the log file as write-only instead of read-only.
Thanks to Roderich Schupp <roderich.schupp@gmail.com>. Closes: #953684
* Unify and cleanup Makefile fragment files comments, including information
about version of introduction.
* Add new buildopts.mk Makefile fragment to support parsing DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
options with arguments, such as “parallel” as DEB_BUILD_OPTION_PARALLEL.
* dpkg-genchanges: Handle empty Date fields from parsed debian/changelog.
Based on a patch by Baptiste BEAUPLAT <lyknode@cilg.org>. Closes: #956321
* dpkg-source: Check that debian/tests/control has the required fields.
Prompted by Felix Lechner <felix.lechner@lease-up.com>.
* dpkg-deb, dpkg: Do not accept relative pathnames in DEBIAN/conffiles.

be uninitialized.
* update-alternatives: Set the umask to 022 on program start.
