* The "Pélardon" release
* Debian packaging fixes:
  - debian/recode_manpages.sh: Recode the Swedish manpages to ISO-8859-1.
  Closes: #403210
  - 200_regenerate_manpages: Manually generate the man pages. This fixes the
  formatting of some pages (e.g. passwd.5); permits to propagate the Debian
  changes to the translated manpages; and to benefit from the fixes in the
  Swedish manpages (see 104_man-sv).
* Upstream bugs fixed upstream:
  - 104_man-sv: Fix Swedish manpages's PO encoding (some characters were
  converted twice to UTF-8).
* Upstream bugs or fixes not yet fixed in upstream releases or CVS:
  - 405_su_no_pam_end_before_exec: Avoid terminating the PAM library in the
  forked child. This is done later in the parent after closing the PAM
  session. With pam_krb5, this allow users to reuse the cached credential
  in the forked shell. Closes: #412061
