  * debian/control

    - Build-Depends: changed 'autotools-dev' to 'dh-autoreconf'

      Patch submitted by Logan Rosen <email address hidden>

      I did not add 'help2man' to Build-Depends
      which his patch suggested, because this caused
      only a FTBFS in the versions 1.5 and 1.6 of recutils
      when using 'dh_autoreconf'.

      Upstream updated 'man/Makefile.in',
      so this is not an issue anymore.

    - Build-Depends: changed 'debhelper (>= 7.0.50~)' to 'debhelper (>= 9)'
    - Build-Depends: added 'bash-builtins' and 'uuid-dev'
    - Build-Depends: added 'texinfo' to make it build
                     in a pbuilder/cowbuilder environment

    - librec0: removed 'Replaces: librecutils (<= 1.3-7)'
    - librec0: removed 'Conflicts: librecutils (<= 1.3-7)'
    - librec0: renamed package to 'librec1'

    - recutils: changed Depends: from librec0 to librec1
    - recutils: removed 'dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info' from Depends:
    - recutils: removed 'Section: database'
                because it's already defined
                in the source package

    - librec-dev: changed Depends: from librec0 to librec1
    - librec-dev: removed 'Replaces: librecutils-dev (<= 1.3-7)'
    - librec-dev: removed 'Conflicts: librecutils-dev (<= 1.3-7)'

    - changed Standards-Version: from 3.9.2 to 3.9.5

  * debian/compat

    - changed compatibility level from 7 to 8

  * debian/

    - renamed librec0.install to librec1.install
    - removed recutils.dirs because it's not needed
    - removed librec0.dirs because it's not needed
    - removed librec-dev.dirs because it's not needed

  * debian/rules

    - enabled hardening options
    - added override rule for dh_install
    - added override rule for dh_makeshlibs
    - changed 'dh $@' to 'dh $@ --with autoreconf'
      to get new libtool macros for ppc64el
      and update config.{sub,guess} for new arches.
