useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do

int-fiction - Support files for interactive fiction interpreters
int-fiction 0.3 -> 0.4 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/games
int-fiction (0.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Look in for xzip and frotz in /usr/games they are not found in the
user's PATH.
jde - Java Development Environment for Emacs or XEmacs.
jde 2.0.9-2 -> 2.1.0-1 into dists/slink/contrib/binary-all/devel

kernel-package (5.05) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix documentation about using the rootcmd option. closes: BUG#25566

* Fix case in the name of the Flavours file. closes: BUG#26434

/boot. This can now be set by loadlin folks in the config file to
whatever they wish. Also changed the postinst to not freak out when
the image apparently goes missing.
* Added the support for different config files depending on architecture
and sub arch. A set of config files for different archs are shipped in
/usr/lib/kernel-package/Config/. This is useful for people who compile
for several architectures.
* Major cleanup and rewrite for mutiarchitecture support. All arch
related stuff is catured in a section on top. There is no need to edit
it into the kernel makeile, we can now determine subarchs ourselves.
* Also pass along the maintainers email address while compiling the
modules, not just the name.
* Make sure that sparcs use the vmlinux file, and gzip it. This
closes: BUG#26199
* Cleaned up the modules installation part. Now it conforms more closely
to the kernel makefile, and indeed, it uses the kernel Makefile for
the newer kernles where the module install path is modifiable using
the new INSTALL_MOD_PATH variable.
kernel-package - Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
kernel-package 5.05 -> 5.06 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/misc

interpreter (in ngs-js), as suggested by Brian Bassett.
* (checks/shared-libs) Brian Bassett reported inaccuracies in detection
of "ldconfig" calls in maintainer scripts. Fixed.
* (checks/menu-format) Skip checks on "section" if the "needs" tag had an
unknown value. This deals with bug#26375, reported by Marcelo E. Magallon.
* (checks/manpages) Fixed: check for links to "undocumented" manpage
should not react to link destinations like "ilu-undocumented".
* changelog-file-missing-in-native-debian-package shortened to
changelog-file-missing-in-native-package
* wrong-name-for-changelog-file-of-native-debian-package shortened to

super 3.11.6-1 -> 3.11.6-2 into dists/slink/main/binary-powerpc/admin
super (3.11.6-2) unstable; urgency=low, closes=26617
* Fixed three bugs wrt user .supertab files
1) super seg. faults, if the full path + name of the user .supertab is
longer than the default name, which easily happens in debian, as
the default is the (short) /etc/super.tab
2) super tries to execute "acct:cmd" instead of "cmd" in user mode for
"acct"
3) super tries to clear/set extra groups, but in user mode the euid
already changed to !root, so setgroups() fails and super complains
