  * debian/patches
    - Refresh for new release.
    - Previous skip-*-{example,test}.patch's have been combined into
      three patches for simplicity:
      + used-canned-examples.patch: Canned versions of examples that
        have been known to fail.
      + skip-failing-core-tests.patch: Tests in M2/Macaulay2/tests that
        have been known to fail.
      + skip-package-tests.patch: Package tests that have been known
        to fail.  We also use the new "-* no-check-flag *-" feature
        to skip these tests rather than patching them out entirely.
  * debian/patches/git-description.patch
    - New patch; provide version#"git description".
  * debian/patches/use-debian-applications.patch
    - New patch; tell gfanInterface package where to find fig2dev and

  * debian/tests/control
    - Add messages before each stage of testing.
    - Add "M2 --check 2" for testing Core package.
  * debian/watch
    - Upstream has begun tagging stable releases, so we switch to
      GitHub for the link.  However, uscan should only be used
      to check for new releases, as the tarballs it generates will
      be missing the files from the M2-emacs submodule.
