* Awesome bug fixes.

* Yet another content for 1.1.1-2

This has the potential to frustrate use of tools like meld that are intended to help manually resolve conflicts (I don't know if meld specifically is troubled by the difference, but there are many possible tools developers might use to examine a conflicted merge).
This was noticed in the course of working on bug 718944 of bzr-builddeb.
I committed a fix for this in the upstream git repository. Thanks for the report.
