[Stéphane Jourdois]

* Reintroduction into Debian Unstable (Closes: #566714)

* ${parm/?/pat[/str]} → echo | sed

(Closes: #534290)
- The debootstrap command now also can be configured on the
commandline with --debootstrap-cmd in xen-create-image and
xt-install-image (Enhances fix for #436480 which added the
debootstrap-cmd config file option)
- Checks for debootstrap and cdebootstrap, uses debootstrap if both
are installed (Changed "Depends: debootstrap" to "Depends:
debootstrap | cdebootstrap" in debian/control)
- Added new files TODO and KNOWN_BUGS to debian/docs.
* Removal of /etc/bash_completion.d/xm from the package since
bash-completion ships a more elaborate version of that file. (Closes:

* Downgrade reiserfsprogs and xfsprogs to Suggests. (Closes: #561618,
LP: #80233)
* Added evms-cli to Suggests. It has been removed from Debian before
Lenny, but it is necessary for some optional functionality of
xen-tools. And since some Debian derived distributions (e.g. Ubuntu
LTS and grml) still support it, it's included for the sake of
completeness and correctness.
* Added cfengine2 to Suggests. It is helpful to have it installed when
using the cfengine2 role.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes necessary)
* Bump Debhelper Compatibility to 7
- Replace "dh_clean -k" by "dh_prep"
* Add Vcs-* headers pointing to new upstream and packaging repository
* Fix some Lintian warnings:
- [debian/control]: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends
- [debian/copyright]: copyright-without-copyright-notice
- [debian/source/format]: missing-debian-source-format

the Git repository.
