9. By Ben Pfaff <email address hidden>

* debian/control: No longer recommend automake1.4, because it is going
  away. Closes: #752291. Thanks to Ansgar Burchardt
  <email address hidden> for reporting this bug.

* Use "makeinfo --html" instead of texi2html, because texi2html is
  obsolete:

  - debian/control: Remove build dependency on texi2html.

  - debian/rules: Use makeinfo --html, and remove use of "fixlinks"
    script, which is no longer needed.

  - debian/fixlinks: Removed.

* debian/lintian-overrides: Rename debian/source.lintian-overrides since
  it is for the source package.

8. By Ben Pfaff <email address hidden>

debian/wrapper: Interpret nonoption arguments to "autoreconf" as
indicating version 2.50 or later, because only later versions of
"autoreconf" accept nonoption arguments. Reported by Julian Andres
Klode <email address hidden>.

7. By Ben Pfaff <email address hidden>

* autoscan.pl: Apply patch from Damyan Ivanov <email address hidden> to avoid
  using deprecated and soon-to-disappear find.pl library. Closes:
  #658450.

* Add build-indep and build-arch targets to debian/rules (suggested by
  lintian).

* Switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format. I broke out some of the changes
  to upstream files into separate patches, but some work remains.

* debian/control: Remove Conflicts and Replaces against ancient autoconf
  package versions, which are no longer relevant since the newer
  autoconf was introduced in 2001. Remove version requirements on
  texi2html and autoconf, whose versions are matched even by lenny
  versions of those programs.

* debian/watch: Add file containing only a comment explaining that this
  version of Autoconf is no longer maintained upstream.

* Add lintian override for ancient-autotools-helper-file error.

* Update to standards version 3.9.2.

6. By Ben Pfaff <email address hidden>

* autoconf.info: Add modern-style Info directory entry.

* Remove all uses of install-info from maintainer scripts and require
  Debhelper 7.2.17 or later, which handles Info files itself via
  triggers. Also require dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info to ensure
  support. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <email address hidden> for reporting
  this. Closes: #569265.
* Add doc-base support.

* debian/control: Update standards version from 3.7.2 to 3.8.4 (no
  changes necessary).

* debian/control: Remove duplicate Section and Priority fields from
  binary package stanza.

* debian/rules: Don't ignore "make clean" and other errors.

* Upgrade to Debhelper version 7.

* debian/rules: Don't delete install-stamp and build-stamp explicitly,
  because dh_clean deletes them itself in version 7. Use dh_prep
  instead of "dh_clean -k" as recommended for version 7.

5. By Ben Pfaff <email address hidden>

* Bundling of short options indicates that autoheader2.50 or
  autoreconf2.50 should be invoked. Closes: #454284. Thanks to Clinton
  Roy <email address hidden> for reporting this bug.

* Fix detected macrodir and localdir when --macrodir and --localdir
  options are used.

4. By Ben Pfaff <email address hidden>

* Recommend automake1.4 instead of automake. Thanks to Luk Claes
  <email address hidden> for pointing out that automake is no longer in the
  archive. Closes: #394708.

* Update Debian standards version.

* Move debhelper from Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends, to comply
  with policy.

autoupdate.sh: Honor $TMPDIR and don't delete temporary files twice.
Thanks to Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <email address hidden> for
reporting this bug and providing a patch. Closes: #297488.

2. By Ben Pfaff <email address hidden>

Update maintainer address to make my packages consistently refer to
<email address hidden>.

1. By Ben Pfaff <email address hidden>
