dpkg 1.1.6[elf]: many bugfixes

[Ian Jackson <ian@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk>]

There are fixes for several fairly annoying bugs here.  You might want
to try this version.

The ELF version should go into the unstable tree.  The a.out version
should go into the `upgrade' directory for people upgrading.  Both
nondebbins probably want to replace the previous nondebbin versions.

dpkg (1.1.6); priority=MEDIUM

  * Check virtual dependencies when removing (ouch! - thanks SDE.)
  * Fixed bug in internal database validity management that could
    make dselect and dpkg dump core.  (Bug#2613.)
  * Fixed two coredumping bugs when using local diversions.  (Bug#2804.)
  * Fixed disappearance of overwritten packages.  (Bug#2696.)
  * install-info won't modify dir file before start of menu.
  * install-info will create Miscellaneous heading if no sections yet.

  * Only alphanums and +-. allowed in package names - enforced by
    dpkg-deb --build and documented in Guidelines.
  * dselect doesn't display packages unless they are installed, selected
    or available.
  * dselect doesn't show spurious section and priority headings.
  * dselect has a few extra keybindings (from Lee Olds).
  * --force message changed to `--force enabled' so that default is OK.

  * dpkg-name now includes architecture component in .deb filename,
    and translates - in package name to _.
  * .deb file has architecture component in filename.

  * Guidelines changed to say Pre-Depends is for experts only.
  * Guidelines say to provide a unidiff (-u) rather than an old context diff.
  * Guidelines say 755 root.root for shared libraries.
