Change version number to 1.13.12 and target suite to experimental.
Also add a warning to the changelog about the experimental nature

dpkg-source: Don't use \b to match the end

\b doesn't work in case the version ends with ~.
Don't use the ldd output in dpkg-shlibdeps. Search for the

When linking statically, explicitly add libsepol, even if its only a
transitive library. The proper fix should come with a pkg-config file.
Based on a patch by Bart Martens <bart.martens@advalvas.be>.
Add support "package types" to dpkg-shlibdeps. Patch by
Joey Hess. Closes: #345475
* scripts/dpkg-shlibdeps: Add possibility to
specify a package type in the shlibs file
and add a -t switch to dpkg-shlibdeps to
specify the wanted type. Entries without
package type will have type 'deb' and will
serve as fallback if no entry with the
correct type is found
* man/C/dpkg-source.1: Document new -t
switch for dpkg-shlibdeps
Check for illegal architecture strings in dpkg-gencontrol and
dpkg-source. dpkg-gencontrol will only issue a warning while
dpkg-source will error out. Closes: #96920
Let dpkg-source ensure (as good as possible) that all
build source packages can also be unpacked. Closes: #6820, #7014
* scripts/controllib.pl:
(checkversion) add generic check for valid version numbers
(checkpackagename) add generic check for valid package
names
(readmd5sum) add generic function to extract md5sum from
md5sum program output
(setsourcepackage) call checkpackagename on new value
* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Use the new checks added to
controllib to ensure validity of version and packagename
on build, too. Previously this was only done on
unpack.
Test on build if directories added by diff already exist with
other type in the original source since we already tested that
on unpack.
(addfile): Test if files are added
twice. Should not happen but as we error out on unpack
better make sure it doesn't.
Check the gpg signatures of .dsc files before unpacking. See
the upstream changelog for a full description of the semantics.
Based on a patch by Matt Zimmerman. Closes: #48711
dpkg-source -x now tries to chown all files extracted from
tar files. The temporary directory is now created with mode
0700, too. Together this should make it safer to run
dpkg-source -x as root. Based on suggestions by Marcus
Brinkmann and Colin Watson. Closes: #144571, #238460

- dpkg-architecture output includes new DEB_*_ARCH_OS and
DEB_*_ARCH_CPU variables that contain the Debian system and CPU
names respectively.
- dpkg-architecture outputs (mostly) correct GNU system names now,
in particular this means that it will output "linux-gnu" instead
of "linux". You should use the new _ARCH_OS variables instead.
