New changelog entries:
* "Change directory to / before executing maintainer scripts" from 1.5.62
was too intrusive due to changing Debconf::ConfModule, and broke some
existing maintainer scripts that e.g. ran ucf with relative paths.
Instead, just chdir to / before running maintainer scripts in
dpkg-reconfigure and chdir back afterwards (closes: #608648).
* In the Gnome frontend, hide the cancel button, and prompt for
confirmation when the close button is pressed (closes: #501767).
Original idea by Michael Vogt with an amendment by Joey Hess; some code
by Martin Pitt.
New changelog entries:
* Upgrade to debhelper v9 and dh-exec.
* Make debconf provide python-debconf and python3-debconf, in preparation
for splitting those out to separate binary packages (see #709198).
* dpkg-preconfigure: Don't write "Extracting templates from packages:"
progress output if stderr is not a terminal (closes: #701818).
* Change directory to / before executing maintainer scripts (closes:
#608648).
* Install to $Config{vendorlib} rather than hardcoding /usr/share/perl5.
* Upgrade to copyright-format 1.0.
* Policy version 4.0.0.
New changelog entries:
* Use HTTPS for Vcs-* URLs, and link to cgit rather than gitweb.
* Set source format to 3.0 (native).
* frontend: Load templates when we're being run from any maintainer
script, not just preinst/postinst (closes: #817083).
New changelog entries:
* Don't update po/debconf.pot unless doing so changes something other than
the POT-Creation-Date header. The basic approach here is from gettext,
though implemented a bit more simply since we can assume perl.
* Show choices for teletype/readline boolean questions (closes: #802840).
* Move bash completion file to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/.
