Bug#687220: proposed upload: xz-utils/5.1.1alpha+20120614-2

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

Hi Mohammed, Thorsten, et al,

I am looking to upload version 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 of xz-utils
to unstable.  The package can be found on alioth.debian.org:

- http://alioth.debian.org/~jrnieder-guest/temp/xz-utils/xz-utils_5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.dsc
- git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/xz.git master

It is a pretty quiet update.  All the changes should look familiar by
now.  Patches cherry-picked from upstream:

 * Check that the first byte of range encoded data is zero to catch
   broken files sooner.
 * xz.1: Document the new "minimum xz version to decompress" field
   in xz --robot -lvv output.
 * xz -lvv: The minimum xz version needed to decompress blocks with
   zero-length uncompressed data is 5.0.2, not 5.0.3.

The only other change is a list of patch descriptions in
xz-utils/README.Debian.  The hope is that this can help satisfy the
curiosity of people wondering about differences between the upstream
and packaged tools and library.

so this is release team approved™.  I'd be happy if you have a
chance to look it over.

Thanks,
