* New upstream. Upload to unstable
  Major changes between "less" versions 436 and 443
  - Change search behavior such that when a search is given an explicit
    pattern, the entire displayed screen is included in the search and
    not just the portion after the target line.
  - Add -A option to change search behavior to the old way: only
    the portion of the screen after the target line is searched.
  - Add %F formatting to prompt strings, replaced by the last component
    of the input file.
  - Control-G while editing a command exits the command.
  - Less now exits with status 2 if control-C is pressed and -K is in effect.
  - Fix "ungetc overflow" when passing long commands via the -p option.
  - Fix bug in using line filtering via the & command
    in combination with -i and -I.
  - Fix bug in handling negative arguments to the -j option.
  - Fix bug in handling %t in prompt strings.
  - Improve handling of long option names.
  - Improve percentage calculation for very large files.
* Debian policy version is 3.9.2
