Create a symbols file for libremctl1 and tighten build dependencies
accordingly.

12. By Russ Allbery on 2007-11-11

* New upstream release.
  - Default to IANA-assigned port 4373.
  - Fall back to old 4444 port on client connections.
  - Fix remctld segfault when given a command with no service.
  - Improve remctld man page.
* Change the port number when creating the initial inetd.conf entry.
* Remove inetd.conf entries for both 4444 and 4373 on package removal.
* Move Homepage pseudo-headers to a proper control header now that dpkg
  supports this.

* New upstream release.
  - Fix server crash when client sends too many arguments.
  - Request sequence protection, don't require replay protection.
  - Standalone remctld removes PID file and handles signals.
  - Standalone remctld re-reads config on SIGHUP.
  - Standalone remctld doesn't exit after an hour.
  - libremctl now uses symbol versioning.
  - Allow port and principal to be omitted in Net::Remctl::open.
  - Documentation fixes for Net::Remctl.
  - Check for MIT GSS-API library first to avoid UMich libgssapi.
* Allow inet-superserver to satisfy the update-inetd requirement.
* Move tcpd to Recommends for remctld. It's used by the default
  inetd.conf line but isn't strictly required.
* Stop including the Java client as an example; it's no longer just a
  few files. Refer the curious to the source package in remctl-client's
  README.Debian.

10. By Russ Allbery on 2007-04-13

* remctl-server now depends on update-inetd directly and recommends
  openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver, since it will run without inetd but
  calls update-inetd in its postinst.
* Remove the remctl transitional package now that etch is released.
* Support reconfigure in the remctl-server postinst.
* Don't fail on unknown arguments to maintainer scripts.
* Add build-arch and build-indep targets, just in case.
* Update debhelper compatibility level to V5.

* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
  - debian/control: add update-inetd, openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver to
    remctl-servers' dependencies

8. By Lionel Porcheron on 2006-12-17

* debian/control: Add update-inetd to remctl-server's dependencies
  (Closes Ubuntu: #76138).
* debian/control: Add openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver dependencies
  as remctl-server needs an inet server to work

7. By Russ Allbery on 2006-09-08

* New upstream release.
  - Work around an interaction between glibc headers and gcc 4.1 that
    produces compilation errors when calling wait W* macros on int
    members of const structs. Thanks to Martin Michlmayr for the report
    and analysis. (Closes: #386438)
  - Better type safety in printf on 64-bit systems.

Don't assume "rule: export VARIABLE=value" works in debian/rules;
instead, export the variable separate from the rule-specific setting.
The make on at least one of the buildds didn't like this construct.
