dpkg (1.3.6) experimental; urgency=low (HIGH for new source format)

  * dpkg-source now has broken argument unparsing for tar.  (Bug#4195.)

  * dpkg-gencontrol writes to debian/tmp/DEBIAN/control by default.

  * Source packaging substitution variables and name syntax rationalised.
  * dpkg-source scripts' usage messages improved slightly.
  * dpkg-source works with non-empty second (orig dir) argument.
