* Merge with Debian stable-proposed-updates, remaining changes:
  - Change the multiarch downgrade version checks in prerm/postrm
    from 1.16.2 to 1.16.0~ to reflect when multiarch landed in Ubuntu.
  - Migrate dpkg multiarch conffile (and other multi-arch-related
    conf settings) to the new DB with dpkg --add-architecture, but
    keep a copy of the old conffile if it was modified.
  - Out of paranoia, keep an option handler for foreign-architecture
    that informs people that they need to scrub their config files
    and upgrade, on the off chance that the above migration fails
    for some reason (this mitigates the chances of leaving users with
    a dpkg that fails to run due to a broken config).
  - Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
    tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
    same time having translated debconf prompts. This is useful for tools
    that hide the dpkg terminal by default and use apport for bug
    reporting with the untranslated error message.
  - Apply patch from Steve McIntyre to special-case armhf/armel ELF
    objects in Shlibs/Objdump.pm, so we don't get incorrect deps.
  - lib/dpkg/pkg-spec.c: map unqualified package names of multiarch-same
    packages to the native arch instead of throwing an error, so that we
    don't break on upgrade when there are unqualified names stored in
    dpkg's own trigger database.
  - Add logic to the postinst to `dpkg --add-architecture i386' on new
    installs on amd64, and to also do so on upgrades from pre-conffile
    Ubuntu versions, mimicking our previous behaviour with the conffile.
  - Apply a workaround from mvo to consider RC packages as multiarch,
    during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
  - Don't set unsupported -fstack-protector in dpkg-buildflags on arm64.
* Add ppc64el/powerpc64le support to cputable (backported from 1.17.2)

scripts/Dpkg/Shlibs/Objdump.pm: Adjust armel/armhf special-casing
in dpkg-shlibdeps to try the new ELF ABI flags before arch tags.

195. By Matthias Klose on 2013-06-11

Don't set -fstack-protector in dpkg-buildflags on arm64 (not yet
supported).

[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
Fix dpkg-source regression in "3.0 (quilt)" source packages while
unapplying patches that remove all files in a directory. Closes:
#683547 (LP: #1057886)

Fix scoping issues in dpkg postinst, so we don't end up doing
the foreign-architecture migration on every single dpkg upgrade

189. By Dimitri John Ledkov on 2012-09-27

Apply a workaround from mvo to consider RC packages as multiarch,
during the dpkg consistency checks. (LP: #1015567). Opened bug 1057367
