* Include patch from Jiri Palecek that makes checkrestart work
with processes that lack a proper link /proc/$PID/exe. This seems to happen
with UML processes and confused the program. (Closes: 522850)
* Include patches provided by Joerg Sommer for checkrestart:
(Closes: 511537)
   - Set locale to POSIX ('C') since the output of dpkg is localized and
      localisations makes the match for diversions fail.
   - Skip the last output line from diversions since it is a summary
     listing packages that are part of a diversion.
   - Use dpkg-query instead of dpkg since dpkg-query is the generic interface
     for querying the dpkg database is dpkg-query, and dpkg is only a
     wrapper for it.
   - Removed useless check in the isdeletedFile function that covers
     mutt in /tmp since there is already a match for /tmp
* checkrestart: don't complain about processes that have deleted files
  in /var/tmp

debget: use 'head' instead of 'tail' when using apt-get --print-uris to
get the first occurence of a package. This makes it properly download
-data packages instead of the (Closes: #491588)

[ Fixes I would like to see in etch, even though we're on freeze now ]
* Fix checkrestart with patch provided by Justin Pryzby, modify to reduce
  false positives by not complaining about deleted inodes/files under
  /tmp/, /var/log/ or named /SYSV. This fixes the long-standing issue that
  made this script rather useless (related to lsof, see bug #297029, and to
  changes in dpkg) (Closes: #264985)
  (Note I have included the code from Sam Morris, available at
  http://robots.org.uk/src/psdel and contributed in the BTS. But it still
  needs to be massaged to work as a replacement for lsof)
* Write a manpage for checkrestart so administrators are aware that this
  tool should not be completely relied on.
* Update the version of network-test which fixes some of the bugs already
  fixed in the experimental 'ifupdown-extra' package:
  [ Note: Post-etch network-test will be removed from this package but
    I rather not try to introduce an experimental package such as
    ifupdown-extra into etch right now ]
    * Make network-test use bash (Closed: #401363)
    * Do not analyse resolv.conf lines that have been commented out.
    * Change network-test so it does not complain loudly if ethtool is not
      installed (just recommends its installation)
    * Fix duplicate spaces in the script as well as some typos with patch
      provided by Norbert Kiesel (Closed: #400463)
    * Change behaviour of network-test when testing ethernet link
      (based on ifupdown-extra's 'check-network-cable' tests) this is better
      (and more reliable) than just using 'ifconfig' but requires users
      install additional software.
 * Lintian error fix: FSF address
