* New upstream release.
* debian/watch
  - Find the latest tarball by parsing the download.html page.
* debian/upstart-compat-sysv.preinst
  - Do not parse /var/lib/dpkg/status directly but use dpkg-query instead.
* debian/control
  - Use the new "Homepage:" field to specify the upstream URL.
  - Drop versioned Build-Depends on dpkg-dev as the version in etch is
    recent enough.
  - Use quilt instead of dpatch for the patch management. Update the
    Build-Depends accordingly.
* debian/rules
  - Do not ignore "make clean" errors.
  - Include quilt.make which provides the patch and unpatch target.
* debian/README.Debian
  - Update the FAQ with regard to boot message logging. Closes: #426598
  - Add some notes that initramfs generators other than initramfs-tools can
    cause problems. Closes: #410836
