dpkg-1.3.6, hello-1.3-10: new shared library scheme

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

I've now implemented the shared library scheme as described earlier.

I don't expect to make any further significant changes to the new
source package format and building scheme.  I shall finalise this in a
week unless there are significant complaints.  So: please download
these and look at them and try them out.

Please install dpkg-1.3.6 and read section 2.2 of the programmers'
manual to see what shared library package maintainers need to do.

Packages which just use shared libraries use dpkg-shlibdeps to
generate the dependencies.  See dpkg-source(1) and the hello package
for details.

There is a mechanism involving /etc/dpkg/shlibs.default to cope with
libraries which don't know about the new scheme.  At the moment I've
only put libc5 and ncurses3.0 in here; other libraries can be added
locally, but it would be better to mail me.

Other significant changes here are:
 * I've broken the argument unparsing to match braindamage in the
   latest versions of tar.  If you've had trouble with dpkg-source try
   this version.
 * dpkg-gencontrol has a default output file.

Ian.
