Fix dh_makeshlibs --add-udeb syntax.

11. By Colin Watson on 2006-07-31

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Created a udeb for debian-installer.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Use dh_makeshlibs --add-udeb. Drop udeb Provides since we have no
  backward compatibility to maintain.

* The slithering release.

* debian/python-libxml2.examples.in: Renamed to
  debian/python-libxml2.examples
* debian/python-libxml2.install.in: Renamed to
  debian/python-libxml2.install, and replaced PYVERS by a wildcard.
* debian/control:
  + Adapted dependencies to fit all changes.
  + Added fields required by new Python policy.
  + Added fields necessary for flawless transition.
  + Replaced dummy python-libxml2 package by a full real package which
    itself replaces python2.x-libxml2 packages.
* debian/rules:
  + Changed rules to get the python versions we want to build for and
    adapted some rules to fit with the new setting.
  + Changed shell loops to make loops.
  + In case python binary modules are identical (and they are, but they
    may not be with future versions of the python headers), replace some
    of them with symbolic links.
  + Adapted rules to the fact we're installing in only one python package
    instead of several.
* debian/pycompat: Set to 2, for new Python policy. Closes: #373456.
* Switching to the new policy avoids necessity to conflict with very old
  versions of the python bindings packages. Closes: #365057.

* debian/libxml2-doc.install: Added the /usr/share/gtk-doc directory.
  Closes: #375113.
* debian/control: Made libxml2-doc suggest devhelper.
* libxml-2.0.pc.in, libxml-2.0-uninstalled.pc.in: Split Libs in Libs and
  Libs.private.
* xml2-config.in, xml2-config.1: Added a --static option to add to --libs
  so that we can split what is needed when building statically and what is
  needed when building dynamically. Closes: #374017.
* libxml-2.0.pc.in, libxml-2.0-uninstalled.pc.in, xml2-config.in: Added
  BASE_THREADS_LIBS to the static link information so that -lpthread would
  appear. Closes: #372945.
* debian/control: Removed dependency on zlib-dev for libxml2-dev.
* debian/rules: Add the NEWS file to dh_install calls. Closes: #365596.
* debian/watch: Updated.
* NEWS: Updated.
