* Added a missing build depends on vm-super-minimal, reuired fro
  building the pdf documentation, (Closes: #752151).
* Move flex.pdf to the flex-doc package. This makes it possible for the
  flex package's contents to not change if texinfo is not installed,
  e.g. in the stage1 build profile. Thanks to Peter Pentchev

* Move the flex-doc build dependencies to B-D-I. Move the TeX Live
  dependencies to Build-Depends-Indep and only build the HTML and PDF
  documentation if actually requested. This breaks a circular build
  dependency by not requiring texlive for the build of the
  arch-dependent flex binary packages. (Closes: #749344).
* Bug fix #752151: "pdfetex error about missing cm-super", thanks to
  Helmut Grohne and Cyril Brulebois
* Bug fix: #749344" Allow bootstrapping without texlive and
  dh-autoreconf", thanks to Peter Pentchev

* dh-autoreconf already depends on all the autotools that it will
  attempt to use to rebuild the package's build framework, so remove the
  direct (and redundant) dependencies on the autotools
  packages. Suggestion by Peter Pentchev (Closes: #749341).
* The patch also cleaned up the creation of examples and links for man
  pages.
* Bug fix #749341: "Drop the autotools build dependencies, dh-autoreconf
  is sufficient", thanks to Peter Pentchev

45. By Manoj on 2014-05-06

* The code that is generated by flex has an off-by-one error in the
  generated #line pragmas that occur after the second %% line in the
  source file. Marcus Rausch supplied the patch that fixes it.
  (Closes: #542482).
* Bug fix #542482: "Off-by-one error in line statements", thanks to
  Wouter Verhelst

44. By Manoj on 2014-04-27

* Adapted patch from Matthias Klose to add pre-seeding of autoconf
  values as paramaters, fixing cross builds. flex uses runtime checks
  for configure tests, and preseeding allows cross build to succeed,
* Bug fix: "fix cross build", thanks to Matthias Klose. Applied fix
  manually (Closes: #746172).

43. By Matthias Klose on 2014-04-25

* Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
  - Preseed autoconf vars ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes and
    ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull for cross builds.
* Fix typo in rules file. Closes: #745228.

42. By Matthias Klose on 2013-12-04

Preseed autoconf vars ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes and
ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull for cross builds.

41. By Colin Watson on 2012-10-02

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Split the flex package into flex and libfl-dev, with flex as a
    Multi-Arch: foreign package depending on a Multi-Arch: same libfl-dev,
    so that flex works for cross-building.

39. By Steve Langasek on 2011-11-07

Add a Breaks: flex (<<) to libfl-dev, so that removing libfl-dev after
a partial upgrade doesn't leave a broken flex installation.
