dpkg(1): further improve explanation about conffiles
* man/dpkg.1: Refer to configuration files in the explanation about
package's states because all configuration files (conffiles and
non-conffiles) should be properly handled by the packages. conffiles are
handled by dpkg itself, and non-conffile configuration files by the
configuration scripts. Explain this in the paragraph about removal
of packages.

dpkg-gencontrol: accept "-c-" to read the control file from stdin
* scripts/Dpkg/Control.pm (parse, parse_fh, new): Add a new function
parse_fh() to be able to parse the control file from an arbitrary
file handle. Change parse() to use it and modify new() to parse
STDIN instead of a real file if the parameter is "-".

dpkg-deb: improve error message "unable to extract"
* src/archives.c (tarobject): Improve error message stating that
dpkg is unable to create a file so that it also refers to the real
filename instead of the non-diverted name only.

dpkg(1): Use conffile for config files handled by dpkg

by dpkg. Drop reference to hamm. Updated description of values
supported by -D to include those which are trigger related.

Add a --query option to update-alternatives. Closes: #336091, #441904

--display but outputs a machine parseable rfc822-like output.
* man/update-alternatives.8: document that new option, and the
associated format.

Activate triggers when a file is removed in a shared directory
* src/processarc.c (process_archive): While removing files that
disappeared, move the call to namenodetouse before the test
that skips directory shared with other packages. This is required
because namenodetouse() handles trigger activation and we really
want directories containing (only) removed files to activate the
corresponding triggers.

is created so that a second build doesn't try to mistakenly

dpkg-gensymbols: fail when empty values are given to -v, -P or -e.
* scripts/dpkg-gensymbols.pl: Do not accept empty parameters for
-v, -P and -e. "-v" led to empty versions in symbols files and people used
that option by mistake believing it would enable a verbose mode.
dpkg-source: change the logic to find the object used to unpack/build
* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm (upgrade_object_type): Instead
of using the full Format: version to deduce the perl object name
use only the major part of the version. The minor part is under
control of the corresponding object, that way they can evolve
and indicate that the source package has changed in a backwards
compatible way. See
http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2008/04/msg00045.html
Also add a new parameter to disable update of the minor version in
the Format field.
(initialize): Don't let the Format field be updated by
upgrade_object_type() as this function only loads information from
the .dsc into the object.
* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/**: Rename V1_0.pm into V1.pm,
V2_0.pm into V2.pm and V3_0/ into V3/. Fix perl package names
accordingly. Integrated a $CURRENT_MINOR_VERSION set to "0"
in all packages.
* scripts/Makefile.am, scripts/po/POTFILES.in: Update the lists
according to above file renames.
dpkg-source: parse correctly series files with patch options
* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/quilt.pm: Parse correctly
series files with patch options and warn if something else than
-p1 is used.
* man/dpkg-source.1: Document how dpkg-source handles those patch
options in series files.
dpkg-genchanges: use Package-Type control field to detect udebs
* scripts/Dpkg/Fields.pm (find_custom_field, get_custom_field):
New function to handle custom fields (X[SBC]*-*).
* scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl: Use Package-Type control field to
decide if a package is an udeb instead of relying on the file
extension of a generated package since that doesn't work when
generating source-only uploads for example.
