  [ Evan Broder ]
  * backportpackage: Add -c, --close flag to include a changelog closer.
  * backportpackage: Switch to ~ubuntu12.04.1-style version numbers
    instead of ~precise1, to make our version numbers more future-proof.
  * backportpackage: Pass -v to debuild with last published version
    number. This matches the way backports have traditionally been
    generated by archive admins.
