[ Reason ]

This update backports multiple fixes from unstable for RC bugs and fixes
broken behavior. It makes the dpkg-fsys-usrunmess script more robust,
fixes mishandling of versioned symbols due to output changes in objdump,
fixes the removal-on-upgrade conffile support, and adds support for the
ARC arch. There's also a tiny fix for the Dutch translated man pages.

[ Impact ]

* The dpkg-shlibdeps problem would cause wrong dependency information
  which could lead to programs unable to run-time link due to missing
  symbols.

* The removal-on-upgrade conffile support could end up removing
  pathnames owned by other packages.

* The dpkg-fsys-usrunmess changes make the script more robust, to
  reduce the potential for breakage and avoid known problematic
  scenarios that can leave the system messed up, requiring arduous
  recovery.

* The arc arch porters cannot introduce it properly as the infr runs
  on stable which currently does not know about it.

[ Tests ]

* The fix for dpkg-shlibdeps can be verified by running that version
  on unstable/testing and building cppcheck. (I have pending adding
  a minimal test case into the test suite in git main though.)

* The removal-on-upgrade conffile fix contains functional tests.

* The dpkg-fsys-usrunmess has been run on a merged-/usr system with
  the various conditions and it works as expected.

* The arc arch addition is trivial, but still contains some test suite
  coverage.

[ Risks ]

All these fixes have been in unstable/testing for months now, w/ no
reported regressions. The biggest changes are for the
removal-on-upgrade conffile support, but that ends up being more of
moving code around, and the changes to dpkg-fsys-usrunmess. But none
are that big anyway.

[ Checklist ]

  [√] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [√] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [√] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [√] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]

The git log is included in the debdiff, which I'm attaching in its full
compressed form with no filtering applied.

[ Other info ]

None.

Thanks,
Guillem
