* New upstream release:
- Implement 'man -K', which was the last major remaining missing feature
when comparing man-db with the man package (closes: #135926, LP:
#390575).
- Note that the exact rendering of (e.g.) italic text may vary depending
on the output device (closes: #516808).
- Don't create unnecessary database directories (closes: #472919).
- Explicitly state that -P/$PAGER/$MANPAGER identifies a single command
with no pipes (closes: #363250).
- Make whatis/apropos only display any given manual page, or pointers to
it, once (LP: #27113).
- Map CP1251 encoding to LESSCHARSET=windows, per less(1) (closes:
#539690).
- Loop through semicolon-separated coding tags in the first line of
manual pages, and convert Emacs coding tags to ones that libiconv
understands (closes: #496604).
- Convert text to UTF-8 and then (if necessary) to the target encoding.
This allows us to distinguish between "text not in input encoding" and
"characters not representable in output encoding" (closes: #514963).
- Replace database entries if the mtime of the new data is newer than
that of the old data, even if the new data represents a symlink rather
than a regular file (closes: #490582).
- Increase limit on NAME sections from 2048 bytes to 8192, since some
pages exceeding the previous limit have been observed in the wild
(closes: #489907).
- Cope with some more cases of database corruption (closes: #187750).
- By default, man will now try to interpret pairs of manual page names
given on the command line as equivalent to a single manual page name
containing a hyphen (e.g. 'man foo bar' => foo-bar(1)). This supports
the common pattern of programs that implement a number of subcommands,
allowing them to provide manual pages for each that can be accessed
using similar syntax as would be used to invoke the subcommands
themselves.
* Upgrade to debhelper v7.
* Reverse the direction of the man and mandb symlinks, and migrate any
statoverrides referring to the old locations in /usr/lib/man-db/.
* Run cron jobs at idle I/O priority if dpkg 1.15.0 or newer is installed
(closes: #448400).
* Policy version 3.8.2: no changes required.

* New upstream release.
- Cleaned up a number of possible crashes, memory leaks, and missing
error checks found by the Coverity Scan project.
- The LANGUAGE environment variable is now tokenised properly, rather
than only taking the first two characters of each element.
- man now correctly propagates the exit code of whatis or apropos when
called with the -f or -k option respectively (closes: #477305).
- Fix several manual page synopsis problems (thanks, Yuri Kozlov;
closes: #480678, #481226, #482424, #482791, #482792, #482810, #483589,
#483862, #483951).
- Reduce the number of warnings emitted when using an unrecognised
locale (closes: #494989).
- manconv and zsoelim are now called internally rather than by executing
external programs, to improve performance.
- Manual pages may now be compressed with LZMA (although this is
probably only worth it for very large pages).
- Duplicate manual page hierarchies due to symlinks (e.g. /usr/man ->
/usr/share/man) are detected and removed from the search order.
- A locale modifier (e.g. @latin) in a directory name must now match the
locale if the former is set, in addition to the language and
territory.
- Bare .so includes (e.g. ".so foo.1" rather than ".so man1/foo.1") now
work, although only within the same manual page hierarchy for now
(partially fixes #503472).
* Add Homepage field.
* Policy version 3.8.0: no changes required.
* Pass CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to configure rather than make so that we don't
have to keep up with the set of warnings that configure decides to
enable.
