Use the general form of “dpkg VERSION”, w/o any markup, to talk
about the point a feature got introduced in the dpkg project,
regardless of what part of the project was involved, so we use
dpkg in this way as a reference to the entire software project,
and not the dpkg program or the dpkg Debian package.
The name dpkg-dev is a Debian specific packaging layout, which is not
how other downstreams are going to package the software, just avoid
the term. If we need to mention the collection of scripts contained
in the Debian dpkg-dev we use “dpkg build scripts”.
There are still two remaining dpkg-dev references in paths, but those
need to be fixed by substitution at build time, as part of another
commit.

This section usually contains copyright notices which can be updated quite
often and thus generate useless work for translators. Furthermore this section
was often confusing by mixing authors of the documented software and authors
of the manual page.
So instead of keeping this in the generated manual page, we move this
information where it belongs, in a file comment header above the license
information.
This commit adds the copyright & license statements to all manual pages in
comments at the top of each file. Information from the git history has been used
where there was no pre-existing copyright statements.

Any string that can be copy & pasted into control files or into a

dashes), instead of the default hyphen.

Use the xz command from xz-utils to support xz-compressed binary
packages. Add xz-utils to dpkg's Pre-Depends.
The xz format is very similar to the lzma format, but it fixes
some omissions in the latter, most notably a magic number for
identification by file(1).
Closes: #542160
