* Cherry-pick upstream patch to fix a stack overflow which can be used
  crash the SCREEN server process and hence can be used for denial of
  service (and possible even worse) attacks. (Closes: #797624)
* Suggest ncurses-term as it can solve cases where screen refuses to
  work due to an unknown terminal given in $TERM. (Closes: #609656)
* Remove Jan Christoph Nordholz from Uploaders as suggested by the MIA
  team. Thanks for all your work on screen, Jan!
* Override lintian warning systemd-no-service-for-init-rcS-script, it's
  a false positive. (More or less closes: #796690)

New upstream bugfix release.

21. By Axel Beckert on 2015-06-17

* Upload to unstable again.
* Re-add debian/dirs with /etc/tmpfiles.d/ and add a comment why screen
  ships an empty directory.
  + Fixes regression introduced in 4.2.1-4: If systemd is not installed
    and screen is either setuid or neither setuid nor setgid,
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/screen.postinst bailed out with "16:
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/screen.postinst: cannot create
    /etc/tmpfiles.d/screen-cleanup.conf: Directory nonexistent".
  + See comment in debian/dirs for more detailed reasoning.
* No more ship /lib/systemd/system/screen-cleanup.service in the package
  but link it to /dev/null in postinst and remove the link again in
  postrm. (LP: #1462692)
* Add fixed bugs reported in Ubuntu to previous changelog entry.
* Apply wrap-and-sort.
