dpkg (1.3.13) unstable; urgency=low (HIGH for building new src X programs)
* X shared libraries added to shlibs.default (=> `elf-x11r6lib').
* dpkg-source tar invocation fixed so that TAPE env var doesn't break it.
* dpkg-source copes better with missing final newline messages from diff.
* dpkg-buildpackage usage message fixed: -si is the default. (Bug#4350.)
* dpkg-source error message about src dir mismatch typo fixed. (Bug#4349.)
* dpkg-source(1) has suggestions for dpkg-buildpackage -r option.
* dpkg-source change date fixed. (Bug#4351.)
* More developers' keys.
* Manual updates, own Standards-Version updated.
