  [ Colin Watson ]
  * perlcritic fixes:
    - Move "use strict" above all code.
    - Avoid declaring variables in conditional statements.
    - Don't use bareword file/directory handles.
    - Make all loop iterators lexical.
    - Don't modify $_ in list functions.
    - Use bare return rather than "return undef".
    - Avoid two-argument open.
    - Use a temporary variable rather than "return sort ...".
    - Use ":encoding(UTF-8)" in Debconf::FrontEnd::Passthrough rather than
      ":utf8", since the latter does not validate the input data.
    - Avoid string eval in a couple of places.
    - Enable warnings lexically rather than using "perl -w".
    - Use the block form of grep and map.
    - Avoid combining low- and high-precedence boolean operators.
    - Avoid comma-separated statements.
    - Avoid indirect object call syntax for "new".
  * Reformat debconf.py using pyupgrade, black, and isort.
  * Adjust shell code to pass shellcheck.
  * Fix parsing error that resulted in some nonsense in hierarchy.txt.
  * dpkg-preconfigure: Print "Extracting templates from packages" to stdout,
    not stderr (closes: #797071).  Also improves error messages if
    apt-extracttemplates fails (closes: #754123).
  * debconf-apt-progress: Handle the case of failing to exec the requested
    command (closes: #682508).
  * debconf.py: Don't pass sys.executable as an argument to the frontend
    (closes: #304572).  This may break compatibility if the importing
    program isn't an executable with a #!, but that seems unlikely for
    programs shipped in Debian.

  [ Gioele Barabucci ]
  * Remove previous_module from confmodules again (cf. 1.4.27/1.4.28;
    closes: #1040127).

debconf (1.5.63) unstable; urgency=medium

  * "Change directory to / before executing maintainer scripts" from 1.5.62
    was too intrusive due to changing Debconf::ConfModule, and broke some
    existing maintainer scripts that e.g. ran ucf with relative paths.
    Instead, just chdir to / before running maintainer scripts in
    dpkg-reconfigure and chdir back afterwards (closes: #608648).
  * In the Gnome frontend, hide the cancel button, and prompt for
    confirmation when the close button is pressed (closes: #501767).
    Original idea by Michael Vogt with an amendment by Joey Hess; some code
    by Martin Pitt.

  * Backport from trunk:
    - Only use -C fields when explicitly disabling internationalisation
      within debconf (or when DEBCONF_C_VALUES=true), not merely when in the
      C locale. Based on a patch by Frans Pop, for which thanks! Closes:
      #476873
    - Force fallback to the default template if we encounter 'en' in the
      locale list and no language-specific template for English was
      found,since English text is usually found in a plain field rather than
      something like Choices-en.UTF-8. This allows you to override other
      locale variables for a different language with LANGUAGE=en. Thanks
      again to Frans Pop.
