Changelog

equivs (2.0.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Acknowledge NMU, thanks Zack.
  * Also thanks Tomáš Pospíšek for several patches.
  * Use dpkg-buildpackage instead of debuild; drop devscripts dependency.
    (Closes: #475936)

    same time, I don't see the point in specifying a higher compat level.

  * Document including multiple files via the "Files:" field:
    manpage (Closes: #565897), template file (Closes: #464888).

  * Preserve +x bit for files in Files: section.  (Closes: #535623)

  * Fix Makefile pod2man rule.  (Closes: #364620)

    default maintainer address.

equivs: Circumvent Debian package dependencies

 This package provides a tool to create trivial Debian packages.
 Typically these packages contain only dependency information, but they
 can also include normal installed files like other packages do.
 .
 One use for this is to create a metapackage: a package whose sole
 purpose is to declare dependencies and conflicts on other packages so
 that these will be automatically installed, upgraded, or removed.
 .
 Another use is to circumvent dependency checking: by letting dpkg
 think a particular package name and version is installed when it
 isn't, you can work around bugs in other packages' dependencies.
 (Please do still file such bugs, though.)
