Bug#554086: pu: package dpkg/1.14.27

[Raphael Hertzog-3]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@...
Usertags: pu

I would like to integrate some fixes made to dpkg concerning support of
new source formats since the lenny release. I have prepared a branch here:
http://git.debian.org/?p=users/hertzog/dpkg.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/pu/stable-update

Would this be acceptable to you? (It's in the same spirit that allowed
those kind of changes to escape the lenny freeze, it can't really break
other packages in lenny)

It's all bug fixes except the changes “dpkg-source: accept dashes in
component name of additional tarballs” which is slight behaviour change
that should have been the default. (OO.org could use a supplementary
orig tarball called ooo-build but since ftp-master runs the stable
dpkg-source and needs to be able to unpack all source packages,
he can't use the new format until this is fixed in stable)

Note: the former release tagged 1.14.26 was never uploaded to lenny
either, it contains some late translations and one bugfix for #523329
(that bug only triggers with a newer tar version but it's a regression
compared to etch so I thought it was good to have it in lenny).

Please go ahead (including the changes from 1.14.26).
