* Both maildir-utils and mailutils ship a “mu” binary, two completely
  different programs for different purposes. As maildir-utils has been
  around in Debian for years, rename ours to “mu-tool” (closes: #678484).
* Document the above change in README.Debian.

16. By Jordi Mallach on 2012-06-21

* Upload to unstable.
* Drop libmu_nntp and libmu_cpp from .shlibs: these interfaces
  won't be available until 3.0.
* Drop version mangling from watch file, and look for .xz tarballs.
* Set DEFAULT_CUPS_CONFDIR=/usr/share/cups/mime when configuring, so
  mimeview can find the CUPS mime.types file it expects
  (closes: #435496, #666041).
* Disable spelling_fixes.patch: it is very nice, but I prefer working
  tests (which expect “messsages”).
* This version of GNU mail does not crash when root uses a .mailrc file
  (closes: #510949).
* Add set sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail to the default mail.rc, to work
  around some daemons not installing the /usr/lib/sendmail compatibility
  symlink (closes: #440603).

15. By Jordi Mallach on 2012-04-12

* Build-Depend on libltdl-dev, not libltdl3-dev.
* Complete half-baked dh_python2 migration (closes: #662218).
* Drop dpkg-source options file, to use the standard compression for
  debian tar.
* Pass --list-missing to dh_install.
* Stop installing an empty modules dir.

14. By Jordi Mallach on 2012-03-01

* types_pkginclude_HEADERS.patch: Move types.h from pkginclude_DATA to
  _HEADERS to fix an autoreconf error with new automake versions
  (closes: #661813).
* Move to debhelper v9.
* Migrate to dh_python2.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3.
* Run wrap-and-sort on the source package.

13. By Jordi Mallach on 2011-09-29

* Apply patch from Jakub Wilk to add a missing -llber to MU_AUTHLIBS.
  This had caused a FTBFS with binutils-gold at some point, but not at
  the moment (closes: #555585).
* Build-Depend and include dh-autoreconf, to regenerate the build
  system after the above change. Additionally, Build-Depend on autopoint.
* Backport patch from Simon Josefsson to avoid using GnuTLS deprecated
  functions (closes: #624029).
* Apply patch from Nicolas Dandrimont to fix a FTBFS with
  -Werror=format-security. Additionally, add another patch from Nicolas
  to refresh mh/mh_fmtgram.c, from the fixed bison source
  (closes: #643440).
* Apply patch from Sam Rodgers to relax permission checks on SSL keys,
  which may be group-readable in Debian, for the ssl-cert group
  (closes: #630007).
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2, after checking that GNU Mail
  implements the POSIX-required interface for mailx.
* Replace versioned conflicts on other packages providing mailx with
  Breaks.
* Add a versioned Breaks to heirloom-mailx for the versions previous to
  the introduction of alternatives for mailx.

Upload to unstable.

11. By Jordi Mallach on 2010-09-13

* Fix mangen.sh to generate an appropriate description for mail
  after the program name change in the previous upload.
* Remove hunks of program descriptions.patch which just removed the
  trailing dot from the doc strings. Upstream went the other way long
  ago -- adding the dots wherever they were missing.
* Add mh_repl_folder.diff, stolen from Git: set MU folder directory to
  mh_get_dir (fixes a bug found by Peter S. Galbraith).
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.0 (no changes needed).

10. By Jordi Mallach on 2010-04-19

* Follow Steve Langasek's suggestion in #555495 and make default-mta the
  preferred mail-transport-agent alternative, instead of exim4.
* Add mailbox_lexer_parse_regular_files.diff, stolen from Git, to make
  mail work when ~/.mail exists as a directory (thanks Daniel Kahn Gillmor;
  closes: #543544).
* Install mail as mail.mailutils and register alternatives for
  /usr/bin/mail, so the binary can co-exist with the already present
  alternative provided by bsd-mailx and heirloom-mailx (closes: #577738).
* Include the c_api.so in python-mailutils, otherwise it's completely
  useless. Thanks Wojciech Polak for spotting this. NB: this change
  temporarily makes python-mailutils support python 2.5 only. This
  should be fixed for the next upload.
* Make the Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser control fields point to trunk.

9. By Jordi Mallach on 2010-02-28

* Add a missing comma in mailutils' description (closes: #562589).
* Conflict with bsdmainutils (<< 8.0.6) to ensure from is correctly
  registered with update-alternatives (see #565530 and #565596).
* Special case "mail" and "comsatd" during manpage generation as their
  slightly different usage output breaks automatic detection of whatis
  info.
* Remove old postinst code for rare sarge upgrade conditions.
* Remove mailutils.preinst, which only holds code from 2002 to remove
  leftover elm+ diversions.
* Generate a manpage for sieve.scm. The following changes are needed:
  - Set $GUILE_LOAD_PATH to the package's installdir
  - Temporarily modify the hardcoded mailutils libs path in mailutils.scm
    so sieve.scm can open them.
  - Introduce sieve.scm_help_output.diff to modify sieve.scm's --help
    output in order to make help2man happy.
* Add a note to all manpages explaining their origin, and that bugs
  concerning their contents should not be sent upstream.
* Fix the python install path to include "*-packages" so it works with
  python2.6 (closes: #571497).
* Comment out the AM_GNU_RADIUS check from configure.ac, as the m4 is
  not available in the tarball nor in any current Debian package. Thanks
  to Kamal Mostafa, for the patch applied in Ubuntu (closes: #568484).
* Switch to DpkgSource version 3.0 (quilt). Remove include for CDBS' quilt
  rules, README.source and quilt Build-Dependency.
* Refresh patches.
* Add a Lintian override for Mailutils MH binary directory. We want to be
  co-installable with MH-E, so for now we use another directory.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4, no changes needed.

8. By Jordi Mallach on 2010-01-16

* Fix lenny upgrades of mailutils-mh by adding missing replaces,
  (thanks Nikolaus Schulz, closes: #564882).
* Fix Lintian override for dotlock's setgid binary.
* Remove Suggests to mailutils-doc, which is long gone.
