dpkg-cross 2.3.3 - preparing for migration and removal.



I've made quite a few changes in dpkg-cross, including preparations for
the migration of dpkg-cross into dpkg-dev. A lot of the old scripting
has been removed from the package and from CVS to make it easier to
import into dpkg git.

emdebian-tools 1.4.11 depends on dpkg-cross 2.3.3 as a result of the
changes in dpkg-cross.

The plan is to upload this version to Debian unstable as 2.4.0 once
Lenny is released. Then work with the dpkg team to iron out any
remaining problems in a series of releases in the 2.x.0 series, ending
with 3.0.0 which will be an empty transitional source package depending
on the relevant version of dpkg-dev which will provide dpkg-cross and
conflict with the transitional package. 3.0.0 can then be removed from
Debian testing and unstable prior to the release of Squeeze.

Changes: 
 dpkg-cross (2.3.3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Migrate gccross to emdebian-tools
   *  + to aid migration of dpkg-cross into dpkg and dpkg-dev
   *  + to retain gccross support until all packages are fixed
   *  + to implement support for marking all packages using gccross as
     buggy.
   * drop buildcross which is now implemented inside emdebuild if
     '[X-]Build-Cross-Libtool: yes' is used in debian/xcontrol
   * dpkg-cross : migrate manpage content to POD for compatibility with
     dpkg-dev
   * migrate default options into the module instead of the conffile
   * check for and remove dangling symlinks (Closes: #499292) by
     stopping the creation of symlinks for files that are not
     interesting.
   * remove obsolete files from CVS and source tarball
   * using pod2man, so drop docbook-to-man build-depends
   * Improve error checking in case  value really is undefined
   * Add dynamic archtable settings to make it easier to support uClibc
     permutations: please support wrong architecture (Closes: #447427)
   * dpkg-cross : Remove cairo hack and finish simplifying the regexp
     lines to remove unnecessary escape characters.
   * debian/rules: final tweak to update from i18n update, clean up
     module man page

Once uploaded, v2.4.0 will close all remaining bugs against dpkg-cross,
clearing the way for migration and removal.
