    - Remove config.sub and config.guess and add them automatically with
      autotools-dev.
    - Incorporate the last NMUs and create proper patches for them.
    - Add patches from Jari Aalto again which were overwritten by the
      last NMUs.
  * debian/rules:
    - Simplify debian/rules by using dh.
    - Build with hardening+=all.
    - Build with -Wl, --as-needed to avoid unnecessary dependencies.
  * debian/control:
    - Add autotools-dev to Build-Depends.
    - Homepage field: Point to the git repository because the old
      homepage does not exist anymore.
    - Remove the VCS-field because it points to the upstream repository.
      (Closes: #685358)
    - Description: Make clear that Byzanz is an applet and command line
      tool.
    - New Standards-Version 3.9.4, no changes needed.

    byzanz-record and byzanz-playback. (Closes: #606673)

    applet. Create examples in case you can only use the command line
    tools.(Closes: #606676)
