Update debian/copyright to reflect the change in license from GFDL 1.2
to GFDL 1.3, missed in the previous upload.

5. By Russ Allbery on 2009-03-12

* New maintainer with the permission of the previous maintainer.
* New upstream release. (Closes: #447861)
  - info autoconf now goes to the top of the manual. (Closes: #401648)
  - The requirement of special handling of $@ in configure.ac scripts is
    now documented. (Closes: #372179)
  - AC_PATH_XTRA works differently in current versions of Autoconf and
    the documentation now correctly reflects that. (Closes: #298504)
  - The AC_COMPILE_IFELSE synopsis uses more accurate argument names.
    (Closes: #325861)
  - autoheader AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED limitations with non-literal symbols
    are now documented. (Closes: #179086)
* Build PDF and PostScript versions of the Autoconf manual in addition
  to info and HTML, and add the required build dependencies.
* Depend on gnu-standards and symlink the standards PDF and HTML files
  so that document links work properly. (Closes: #376838)
* Install upstream AUTHORS and THANKS files.
* Update the README.Debian to warn that this manual may not always match
  the separately-maintained autoconf package and to strengthen the
  pointer to the autotools-dev documentation.
* Rewrite the doc-base configuration file.
  - Change the document ID to just autoconf.
  - Expand the abstract based on the upstream manual introduction.
  - Update the doc-base section.
  - Add the info, PDF, and PostScript formats.
* Rewrite the long package description and remove details that are more
  appropriate for the main autoconf package.
* Add a Homepage control field.
* Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser control fields.
* Remove suggest of autobook, which is no longer in Debian.
* Remove suggest of autoconf and autoconf-archive. These packages are
  related but don't add additional functionality to the documentation
  and hence in my opinion don't qualify for Suggests.
* Remove ancient Conflicts.
* Move the source package into the same section as the binary package
  and remove the redundant Section and Priority fields from the binary
  package.
* Add a watch file.
* Update debhelper compatibility level to V7.
  - Use debhelper rule minimization with override targets.
  - Use debian/info instead of debian/install to install the info files,
    avoiding the need to pass arguments to dh_installinfo.
* Rewrite debian/copyright to use the proposed new format.
  - Add an explicit (public domain) license for the packaging.
  - Add the required disclaimer for why this package is in non-free.
* Update standards version to 3.8.1 (no changes required).

Update to Autoconf 2.61, which is the version we actually ship.
Dropped the bits of the diff that didn't actually matter, given this
just generates autoconf-doc.

* Add doc-base file (closes: #296404)
* Is there anyone else interested into taking care of this GFDL-ridden
  non-free package, please?

2. By Henrique de Moraes Holschuh on 2005-03-03

* Conflict with old cruft in some people's systems (closes: #295899)
* Wasn't someone else going to maintain this package because I
  overstepped an ITP or something? Well, please do...
