  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Don't emit command-in-sbin-has-manpage-in-incorrect-section for
    symlinks; they are invariably provided for legacy/compatibility
    reasons. (Closes: #931951)
  * Update regex matches against lines in debian/rules correctly identify
    debhelper calls starting with environment modification (eg.
    "LC_ALL=C.UTF-8"). (Closes: #932128)
  * Factor out mangling of fatal error messages in the frontend
    configuration and correct the exit code if the specified profile does
    not exist. (Closes: #932215)
  * Expand the long description of the duplicate-files check to suggest how
    to remove them. Thanks to Rebecca Palmer for the suggested text.
    (Closes: #932411)
  * Downgrade command-in-sbin-has-manpage-in-incorrect-section to pedantic
    severity for the time being. (Closes: #570998)
  * Downgrade the severity and certainty of the
    package-supports-alternative-init-but-no-init.d-script tag for the time
    being. (Closes: #931889)
  * Correct multiple "gobject-introspection" typos. Thanks to Simon
    McVittie (smcv) for the pointer. (Closes: #933394)
  * Ignore all initscripts provided by the initscripts binary package
    instead of whitelisting issues individually or requiring overrides;
    these will never be regular-style initscripts. (Closes: #933383)

  [ Felix Lechner ]
  * Do not trigger repack requirement when the Debian revision includes the
    "repack" indicator. (Closes: #931846)
  * Drop Depends and Build-Depends on libparse-debianchangelog-perl.
    (Closes: #933134)
  * Quote the spelling corrections that consist of multiple words.
  * Use the null character as the line delimiter in collection/md5sums.
  * Show logs for tests with parse errors when unattended and show all
    parse errors in TAP.
  * Always show log when failing to build a test package.
  * Store tags is separate, small files under ./tags.
  * Remove MatchVars check from PerlCritic configuration.
  * In the test runner, add an option to accept all tag changes.

  [ Paul Wise ]
