Please allow groff 1.18.1.1-21 into testing



groff (1.18.1.1-20 to 1.18.1.1-21)
    Maintainer: Colin Watson
    10 days old (needed 10 days)
    Not touching package, as requested by freeze (contact debian-release if update is needed)
    Updating groff-base fixes old bugs: #374569
    Not considered

Here's the changelog. This fixes an RC bug by means of documenting what
I believe to be the licensing state with some clarifying e-mail etc.;
fixes two release-goal-dash bugs; cleans up some obsolete
build-dependencies reported as will-be-RC-after-lenny; and sorts out an
excessive warning problem that was showing up as Lintian false positives
for some packages.

groff (1.18.1.1-21) unstable; urgency=low

  * Build-depend on xutils-dev rather than xutils (thanks, Daniel Schepler;
    closes: #485203).
  * Update DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS parsing code from policy 3.8.0.
  * Build-depend on x11proto-core-dev rather than x-dev (thanks, Lintian).
  * Use /bin/bash for eqn2graph and pic2graph due to use of $RANDOM, even
    though that's only a fallback in case mktemp fails (closes: #489604).
  * Display more helpful output if a device was not found but is known to be
    one of the devices in the groff binary package rather than groff-base.
  * Define .PS and .PE to empty strings in pic output to inhibit -wmac
    warnings (closes: #495713); similarly, define .EQ and .EN to empty
    strings in eqn output.
  * Add information to debian/copyright (a file from newer groff releases
    and a clarifying e-mail) noting that upstream has relicensed the groff
    documentation under the terms of the GPL (closes: #374569).
  * Remove some fallback constructs from groffer that aren't necessary with
    POSIX shells and that break dash (closes: #454902).
