* Taking over this package... (Closes: #628953)
* Add support for xz-compressed tarballs. (Closes: #658648)
  - Bump dependency on pristine-tar to >= 1.18.
* Fix (most) problems with pristine tarball generation. (Closes: #626855)
  - Ensure that we have the source root directory in the tarball.
  - Ensure that the source root directory is correctly named.
  - Force owner, group and permissions to 0 when generating the xdelta.
  This should be enough to cover the usual use cases.
  It's fairly safe to say that anything else is going to be Fun™...
* Don't spawn shells for tar.
* Handle version info differently: vendor-specific version strings can be
  specified via a make variable, VENDOR_VERSION.
  Also, tidy up version checking in debian/rules and set VENDOR_VERSION to
  the vendor name as reported by dpkg-vendor.
  (Closes: #612271)
* Have all commands respond to --help, -h and -?.
* Put upstream tags on the upstream branch. It makes more sense to me than
  tagging a prior commit in the main branch.
* Improved the concurrent stdout/stderr reading (referenced below).
* Add -S (--source-only) to mercurial-buildpackage.
* Add a note to README.txt about hacking on mercurial-buildpackage source.
* Add build-arch and build-indep targets in debian/rules.
  (The latter is currently empty.)
* Correctly quote (or unquote) hyphens in the man pages.
* Add a dummy debian/watch.
* Misc cleanup.

[Jens Peter Secher]
* Found a way to concurrently read stdout and stderr from a Process
  which means that there should be no more stalled build processes.
* Allow successive import-dsc also when only the debian files changed.
* Complain when importing tarballs that have no root directory but use
  dpkg-source with --no-check to allow manual tampering with the
  imported tarballs.
