* BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
  - diffindex-download and diffindex-rred has been removed!
    (Closes: #788780)
  - apt-file now exit with non-zero exit code when the
    query results in no matches. (Closes: #505222)
  - apt-file no longer supports "personal" caches on its
    own.
  - apt-file show (a.k.a. list) now looks up only an exact
    package name by default. To retain the previous
    behaviour, please use the new --substring-match option.
  - Special uses of "-a" to search in Source packages or
    udebs have been replaced by "--index-names".
  - apt-file now uses "gnu-getopt" option style parsing.
    Notably this means that "+" cannot be used for options
    any longer.
* Rewrite apt-file to use apt's new acquire system. By using
  apt, apt-file:
  - makes apt refresh the Contents files.
    (Closes: #476401, #594879)
  - now understands "non-release" lines. (Closes: #297707)
  - no longer sends "double" requests. (Closes: #663417)
  - now validates downloads correctly. (Closes: #515942)
  - can resume downloads (like apt). (Closes: #594879)
  - now respects Acquire::http::Dl-Limit. (Closes: #525631)
  - supports deb822 sources.list file. (Closes: #740978)
  - supports tor+http protocol (Closes: #764349)
  (Closes: #752292)
* Expand the README a bit to give a quick introduction to
  apt-file and indices.
* Rewrite the manpage from docbook to POD format.
* Update dependency lists due to the above rewrites.
* Remove the old apt-file cache on upgrade. This means that
  users will have to run "apt update" after upgrading.
* Update the "is-cache-empty" and "do-apt-file-update"
  scripts.
* Rewrite d/rules to use debhelper "tiny" and bump the
  compat level 9.
* Add --substring-match option to apt-file.
* Update bash completions to match the changes.
* Install bash-completions in their new location and drop
  old bash-completion conffile.

Apply patch from Cyril Brulebois to support searching for
files in "udeb" packages. This requires "debian-installer"
entries in the sources.list and are represented by the pseudo
"udeb-<arch>" architecture (e.g. "udeb-amd64").

[ Thijs Kinkhorst ]
* Fix searching for patterns that start with a '-'. This still requires
  specifying '--' before the pattern (closes: #631438, LP: #801336)
* Unset env variables that may influence the behaviour of grep
  (closes: #617183).
* Japanese translation of update-notifier text by Hideki Yamane
  (closes: #641199).
* Improve man page layout and help output text. Thanks Jari Aalto for
  the patch! (Closes: #651695)
* rapt-file: replace dpkg-architecture call with dpkg --architecture,
  obsoleting the depends-heavy recommendation on dpkg-dev. Thanks
  helix84 (Closes: #671225).
* Checked for policy 3.9.3, no changes needed. Add explicit python
  recommendation, even though we transitively recommended it via
  python-apt already, to satisfy Lintian.
* Add rapt-file manual page (Closes: #613005).

[ Enrico Zini ]
* rapt-file: Updated distribution names, now it works on wheezy.
  (Closes: #663592)
* rapt-file: deal with missing /etc/apt/sources.list. (Closes: #636564)
