* Fix installation of symlinks in data/ dir (LP: #770566):
  - test/auto.py: Add test for installing a symlink which points to a
    nonexisting target directory/file. This reproduces the gist of the
    problem.
  - test/auto.py: Preserve symlinks in copytree() calls, so that we can
    actually verify that symlinks are preserved properly.
  - test/auto.py: Drop requirement that diff throws no error messages, as it
    will complain about the broken symlink.
  - DistUtilsExtra/auto.py, install_auto: Use os.walk() instead of
    distutils.filelist.findall() to pick out symlinks, as the latter fails
    badly with broken symlinks.
  - DistUtilsExtra/command/build_icons.py: Ignore symbolic links. distutils
    breaks on them when they point to a nonexisting target, and we handle
    them in auto.py.
  - backport, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~python-distutils-extra-hackers/python-distutils-extra/debian/revision/250

* python-mkdebian: Switch stdout to line buffering, for scripts reading our
  output on the fly.
* auto.py: Ignore debian/ to avoid a lot of useless "does not recognize
  file" warnings. (LP: #519927)
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes necessary).
* test/auto.py: Use python-xdg instead of python-crypto for the "automatic
  requires" test, since -crypto uses obsolete libraries (sha in Python 2.6)
  which cause extra warnings. (Closes: #571506)

[ Didier Roche ]
* python-mkdebian:
  - Use OptionParser for argv processing.
  - Add --changelog option to specify changelog message (can be used more
    than once for different tasks)
  - Add --dependency option to add a manual debian package dependency
    (can be used more than once for each package)

[ Elliot Murphy ]
* python-mkdebian:
  - Change from python-central to python-support for consistency with
    debian python packaging team preference.
  - Update to Standards-Version: 3.8.3
  - Fix a typo that caused additional_dependencies defaulting to None
    instead of [].
  - If debchange is not available, give a more friendly error message.
    (LP: #464137)

[ Martin Pitt ]
* auto.py: Document handling of icons.

* test/auto.py: Make Apport hook test description consistent to other tests.
* build_help.py: Fix --help-dir option, thanks to Severin Heiniger for
  spotting this. (LP: #508438)
* auto.py: Clean up temporary *.py symlinks also if there is an exception in
  between. (LP: #490985)

auto.py: Add support for Apport package hooks in apport/*.py. Thanks
Philip Peitsch! (LP: #500316)

* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no changes necessary).
* build_i18n.py: Fix crash when setup.py defines no data files. Thanks to
  Markus Korn! (LP: #493978)
* auto.py: Preserve symlinks in bin/ and data/. distutils copies them as
  files by default, so we have to write the complete handling for those
  ourselves. (LP: #392562)

* auto.py: Auto-install GtkBuilder files which have attributes in the
  <interface> tag.
* auto.py: Extract translatable strings from GtkBuilder files which have
  attributes in the <interface> tag. (LP: #451170)
* auto.py: Properly handle *.{desktop,notifyrc}.in files in data/.
  (LP: #451175)

* Urgency high: Fixes RC bug with a trivial patch, no other changes.
* auto.py: Fix variable name in "syntax error" warning. (Closes: #549583)

python-mkdebian: Handle complex cases where submodules of a Python module
can be in different packages. (LP: #421689)
