Bug#835274: dh-text no longer needed

control: tags -1 -moreinfo
control: unblock -1 by 834313
control: close 834313

With dpkg-dev >= 1.18.11, implementing S:field substitution, dh-text
is no longer needed, this request is active again.

In attachment there is an email from current maintainer (in CC), giving
me permission to make these changes on his behalf.

Changes since last upload:

  * Write debian/watch
  * Change source package format to quilt, remove manual patches
    application
  * Convert package to use debhelper
  * Use `dh-runit' to install runit scripts and generate log scripts
    (Closes: #832656)
  * Use `dh-buildinfo' to simplify tracking bugs, related to build-tools
  * Avoid need of hand-written maintainer scripts by
    use of `dh-runit' and `dh-sysuser'
  * Drop diet libc build due issues with errno
  * Remove no longer needed README files
  * Move 'debian/crontab' into 'debian/contrib' for more clean package layout
  * Enable hardening
  * Fix @dircategory in texinfo manual
  * Install `doc-base' document
  * Add Homepage field
  * Bump standards version to 3.9.8 (no changes needed)
  * Remove Section field from `bcron-run' field, since it duplicated one
    defined in first paragraph.
  * Update Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser fields
  * Convert `debian/copyrigh' to dep5 format
  * Use S:fieldname substitution to avoid duplication in `debian/control'.
    + Add versioned dependency on (dpkg-dev >= 1.18.11)

Regards,
  Dmitry Bogatov

Hi Dmitry,

I'm still much interested in the djbdns (provides tinydns-run) and bcron
packages, while twoftpd isn't that fency any more.

If you want, please take over maintainership for twoftpd.  For the other
two packages, I suggest you switch them to debhelper (I never liked
that) with my permission, since it appears to be really necessary.  Add
yourself as uploader, but please (not yet) switch the maintainer.

Best Regards, thanks for all the time you put into Debian, Gerrit.
