* NMU to fix rc-bugs.
* Update libtool related files to fix build-error on mips, keep original
  config.in, as it is no generated file. (Closes: #237265)
* pcregrep replaces pgrep. (Closes: #237564)
* Bump shlibs, pcre 4.5 includes two new functions.
* Let pgrep's /usr/share/doc symlink point to the package it depends on,
  pcregrep.

* Non-maintainer upload.
* Rebuild with a version of libc6 without a broken atexit() symbol
  (closes: #108597, critical).
* Add to LD_LIBRARY_PATH rather than clobbering it, to avoid fakeroot
  dying (closes: #108661, #108891).
