* non-maintainer release
* new upstream version (depends on jade >= 1.2); pdfjadetex is now
properly called pdfjadetex (not jadetexpdf) upstream
* bump tetex Depends up to newest version of tetex-*
* reintroduced 'cooked' directory since it is upstream from 'cooked',
install t3enc.def, hypertex.def, hpdftex.def, and hyperref.sty into
/etc/texmf/jadetex/, aka /usr/lib/texmf/tex/jadetex/config/, because
it is needed in the current tetex environment
* postinst: check that the jadetex.fmt and pdfjadetex.fmt files were
actually generated, since texconfig doesn't exit with non-zero status
on failure. Consider this a failure condition. It has been
determined that this is in fact a limitiation of the upstream
'texconfig' system employed. The hacky patch I added here to the
postinst sould probably be removed for the freeze; for now it's
probably a good way to chase down problems (closes Bug#25592, Bug#25695)
* add a few bits of documentation off the net; talk about the TeX
capacity exceeded issue in /usr/doc/jadetex/README.capacity_exceeded

READMEs now shipped
* jadetextables.html: removed ^Ms from HTML
* debian/copyright: update ftp location
* debian/rules: add '-isp' to dpkg-gencontrol
* debian/rules: explicit dependancy on /bin/bash, since curly braces are
used

TeX capacity exceeded.
* link man page for jadetex-texconfig.1 to texconfig.1

status was already explicitely ignored (Fixes: Bug#26388).
* Create an empty /etc/kbd/default.map when NONE is asked, so that
the kbdconfig is not run again and again on upgrade - this
question will be asked one last time to be sure, though ;) (Fixes:
Bug#25449).
* Updated atari keymaps from Roman Hodek (Fixes: Bug#25424).

makedev (2.3.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version. This is a *significant* change!
This is a move (back?) from the short-lived makedev that depended on a
non-free parser to the one that is just a shell script. We will now be
more like other Linux distributions, no longer depending on a non-free
hunk of code to build the makedev package, and some porting and other
issues will get better.
* With the major change in upstream code, several bugs are not relevant
any more. Therefore, close 12949, 18037, 18807, 20665, 22648, 22868,
