[ Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña ]
* if-up-scripts/check-duplicate-ip:
   - Do not pass aliased interface information to arping since it cannot
     handle it properly (Closes: #644891)
* Handle the configuration file through the use of dpkg-maintscript-helper
  instead of moving it directly to prevent dpkg from raising a conffile
  change prompt on upgrades even if the user has not made any
  changes.

10. By Javier Fernández-Sanguino on 2011-09-12

* Fix argument passing in function (Closes: #641312)
* if-up-scripts/check-network-cable:
  - Do not run the 'ip' tool until we have verified that it is
  available
* debian/source/lintian-overrides: Add overrides for lintian, required
  since debian/changelog is in UTF-8 format but debian/control is not

   Proper quoting of shell-escaped variables

8. By Javier Fernández-Sanguino on 2011-08-12

* debian/control: Fix url in Vcs-git
* scripts/network-test:
  - Handle interfaces reported by 'ip' as being subinterfaces of others
    (such as the case of VLAN interfaces). (Closes: #636474)
  - Better handle the case when some of the tools used fail to work
  - Separate specific check for the default route and its router(s)
  - Do not test the loopback interface twice
  - Better detection for 'DOWN' interfaces through 'ip'
* scripts/network-test.1: Improve the manpage with more documentation
  of how it works
* if-up-scripts/check-network-cable: Use 'ip link' if neither
  ethtool no mii-tool are available and try to handle some of the
  cases ip link nows about. Although it might not be as reliable
  as the others (Closes: #630137)
* debian/ifupdown-extra.preinst: Add debhelper token, as required
* debian/compat, debian/rules: Switch over to use debhelper version 7
  which bastly simplifies debian/rules and also fixes many lintian
  warnings.
* debian/control:
    - Depend on debhelper v7
    - Update Standards Version to 3.9.2 (no changes needed)

7. By Javier Fernández-Sanguino on 2011-06-22

* debian/control: Advertise that now sources are available in collab-maint.
* if-up-scripts/static-routes: Be more strict when looking for
  interfaces in the configuration file to avoid matching interfaces
  with similar names.
* if-up-scripts/check-gateway: ajust how the ethtool binary alternative
  location is found

6. By Javier Fernández-Sanguino on 2011-04-24

Move the network-cable test from /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ to
/etc/network/if-up.d/ so that it can behave properly and warn the sysadmin
once the network cable is up.

* if-up-scripts/check-duplicate-ip:
  - Location of ethtool has changed: adjust to the new location but fallback
    to the old one if it is still there.
  - Make it possible to use arping's arping which: is located in another
    directory, interprets parameters differently and does not support -q.
  Thanks to Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn for bringing up this issue
  and providing a patch which I base the changes on (Closes: #614056)
  - Do not try to determine the ip address for interfaces we are not goint
    to arping to.
  - Add some warnings for unexpected events that prevent the script
    from working.
* if-up-scripts/check-network-cable: Location of ethtool has changed,
  adjust to the new location but fallback to the old one if it is
  still there.
