dpkg 1.2.4: bugfixes including info dir cleanup and dpkg-name
This is a bugfix release only; most of the bugs are not particularly
serious, but many of them are annoying. It also contains a dpkg-name
which is up to date with the latest .deb filename convention and
Kim-Minh Kaplan's cleanup-info script.

Description:
dpkg: Package maintenance system for Debian Linux
Changes:
dpkg (1.2.4); priority=MEDIUM
* New dpkg-name from Erick (<pkg>_<version>_<arch>.deb convention).
* Disappeared packages can't own conffiles any more ! (Bug#3214.)
* install-info creates Miscellaneous sections with a newline
following the heading. (Bug#3218.)
* cleanup-info script installed in /usr/sbin; called as appropriate
by postinst. Thanks to Kim-Minh Kaplan. (Bug#3125.)
* Allow superseded Essential packages to be purged after they've
been removed (clear the Essential flag on removal, and ignore it
on packages that are in stat_configfiles).
* dselect disk methods understand `y' as well as `yes' for using
development tree.
* dselect doesn't make packages appear as `new' again if update
of available packages fails.
* dselect places method selection cursor over option last selected.
* dpkg-scanpackages doesn't die when repeated packages are found.
* dpkg-scanpackages allows many old maintainers (`//'-separated).
* `Version' field is now mandatory (some operations already
wouldn't work right anyway if it was't there).
* update-rc.d(8) now says you must remove the script. (Bug#3215.)
* dpkg --force-help says that --force-overwrite is on by default.
* dpkg-deb manpage rewritten.
* debian.README (= /usr/doc/copyright/dpkg) edited slightly.
* Some database parsing grunge removed (pdb_preferversion, &c).
* Source tree doc/sgml contains some embryonic manuals.
* Leftover files in lib directory in source tree deleted.
