Description: 
 equivs     - Circumvent Debian package dependencies
Closes: 118526 201852 218443 237963 251547 320619 350835
Changes: 
 equivs (2.0.7) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New maintainer.  (Closes: #350835)
   * Acknowledge NMU.  (Closes: #201852, #218443, #237963, #251547)
   * Add file COPYING, the GNU GPL v2, to top level of source tree.
   * Update both build-time and runtime use of debhelper to v4.
     (Closes: #320619)
   * debian/copyright, debian/rules: cleanups
   * debian/control:
     - standards version 3.6.2 (no changes needed)
     - rewrite description
     - drop 'perl5' alternative dependency; the perl5 package disappeared
       about 3 release cycles ago
   * template/debian/copyright: update FSF address.
   * template/debian/control.in: edit description, set maintainer to
     root@localhost, update standards version, add correct debhelper
     Build-Depends
   * template/debian/rules: streamline somewhat.
   * equivs-build: support Replaces: field.  (Closes: #118526)
   * equivs-build, template/debian/README.Debian.in:
     use "@" instead of the ISO-8859-1 section symbol for the variable
     escapes, to make life slightly easier for users of other charsets.
     - equivs-build.pod: update (and fix) the documentation for this
   * equivs-build: allow comments in control file.
     - template.ctl: comment out most of the entries, to save the user some
       time in common cases.  Also mention that packages lists are all
       comma-separated.
   * equivs-build: Lots of code cleanups.  Highlights:
     - Use File::Temp::tempdir.  This removes the dir upon normal exit.  On
       abend, tell the user where it is so she can examine and remove it.
     - Print usage message to STDERR, not STDOUT
     - Actually bother to close all the files we open
     - die with "\n".  I doubt users care about source code line numbers.
     - 3-arg open(), multi-arg system(), and in general try to look less
       like Perl 4
     - Delete outdated or useless comments, commented-out code, unneeded
       variables, and redundant integrity checks
     - Eliminate most use of global variables
     The net effect is to shrink the file by about 20%.
