* checks/*:
+ [NT] Use the new pre-sorted file {index,info} when iterating over
files.
+ [NT] All checks now report files without any "./" or "/" prefix.
This may break existing overrides. (Closes: #534940)
* checks/binaries:
+ [RA] Exclude kfreebsd-kernel-di-{amd64,i386} from the
embedded-zlib check since it's in the kernel. (Closes: #593397)
+ [RG] Add swipl to the list of known interpreters. (Closes: #591316)
+ [RG] Detect embedded copies of ftgl, t1lib, gl2ps, libgd2,

libmsn, libmikmod, libmysqlclient, and tinyxml.
+ [RG] Merge embedded-{zlib,lib{png,jpeg,openjpeg}} into
embedded-library.
+ [RG] Find directories based on the file's type instead of file(1)'s
unforgiving output. Thanks, Gabriele Giacone. (Closes: #597990)
* checks/cruft{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Extended the diff-contains-substvars check to also catch files
prefixed with a package name.

+ [NT] Moved the list of autotools packages into data/cruft/autotools.

report. (Closes: #594254)
* checks/debhelper{,.desc}:

+ [NT] Corrected Policy references for the uploader tags. Thanks to
David Prévot for spotting this issue and providing a patch.
(Closes: #602632)

(Closes: #605744)
+ [NT] Clarified that old-versioned-python-dependency can also be
triggered if dh_python2 is used and the package is missing

files. (Closes: #608866)
