* Fix POD issues. Closes: #484165
* zgz: Remove support for a GZIP env variable. We don't need this in
  pristine-tar, and if could screw things up if a user set it.
  Closes: #488986

* Use debhelper v7; rules file minimisation.
* Add build and install targets to Makefile.
* Put in a workaround for bug #479317, an incompatability in perl 5.10
  that causes nonzero exit if a program exits while chdired into a
  subdirectory of a File::Temp temp directory.

Man page typo fix. Closes: #475698

3. By Joey Hess <email address hidden> on 2008-02-02

* If a tarball contains files all in one subdirectory, and the source
  tree it's being generated from already has that subdirectory, don't
  try to create the subdir, which would fail. OTOH, if the subdirectory
  isn't there, proceed with creating it as before.
* Add support for bz2 files (Cyril Brulebois)
* Recommends bzip2 and pbzip2, which both might be needed when dealing
  with bz2 files due to differences in their output.

* Allow the delta file to be read or written from stdio.
* Fix man page synopses formatting.

* pristine-tar sometimes got confused about tarballs that did not unpack
  all files into a subdir. Fixes sear-media and 30 others.
* tar was confused by files starting with ./ or / in the manifest, so
  strip it out. Fixes erlang-doc-html and 19 others, including doc-fdc,
  which is the only package to have files in / in its tarball.
* Some tarballs put files in a subdir, but don't show a "/" after the subdir
  name in a manifest. Stop relying on that. (example: streamtuner)

Current stats: Out of the whole debian archive, pristine-gz fails
on 132 files, and pristine-tar fails on 0. Success with 98.97% of
files.
