dpkg (1.13.5) experimental; urgency=low

  The "Flatulent Elm of West Ruislip" Release.

  * Actions and package states are now logged by default in the
    /var/log/dpkg.log file.  This file is rotated monthly and can be
    disabled by commenting the line in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.
  * User decisions about conffiles are now logged.
  * dpkg-source no longer complains about Enhances field.  Closes: #159642,
    #159745, #159746.
  * preinst no longer relies on procps being installed.  Closes: #311808.

  * Architecture Support:
    - Change DEB_*_GNU_CPU from i386 to i486, to reflect reality.
      DEB_*_ARCH_CPU remains at i386, you should be checking against that.
      Closes: #310394.
    - Fixed order ostable is read to prevent Linux becoming the Hurd.
      Closes: #309603.
  * Updated Manpage Translations (Christian Perrier):
    - Syntax error corrected in Swedish man page for dpkg-deb.
      Closes: #300980.
    - Syntax error corrected in Spanish man page for dpkg-scanpackages.
      Closes: #300981
