Changes:
 xfree86-1 (3.3.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * new upstream version; see /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/CHANGELOG.gz
   * reverted to stock xterm, instead of tracking Tom Dickey's development
     versions
   * build against libncurses5, not libncurses4
   * resynced various patches against upstream, some renumbering
   * upstream has Colin Phipps's imake tmp race fix (Closes: #51076)
   * patch #000:
     - make our own #define, DebianGccFlags
     - bump TclLib and TkLib up to version 8.2
   * patch #000d: use DebianGccFlags for all arches
   * patch #001a-05: removed, now upstream (was SPARC patch for scanpci.c)
   * patch #001d: split card.tcl from #001c
   * patch #008[abc]: split from #008
   * patch #008c: one-line mod from Ben Collins to get it compiling on SPARC
     again
   * patch #009: allow single-digit screen numbers after the display number
     when handing one to startx (Closes: #52286)
   * patch #010c: patch the termcap and terminfo files to include the
     xterm-debian terminal description; these aren't shipped but it's a good
     way to keep track of them (need to send to ncurses and termcap-compat
     package maintainers)
   * patch #010d: undef __OPTIMIZE__ on Alpha, there is an aggravating bug
     in cpp
   * patch #021: new; fix for a Czech locale alias from Petr Cech
     (Closes: #52618)
   * patch #022: new: mention that Linux systems also have a hostname field
     in the utmp file (Closes: #10002)
   * removed patches:
     - the "egcs/Netscape" bug workaround; according to Debian Netscape
       package maintainer, it doesn't actually accomplish anything
     - Portuguese XKB symbol modifications, now upstream
     - xkbcomp symlink security fix, now upstream
   * debian/control:
     - make rstart architecture "all" since it is arch-independent
     - dark finally convinced me to stop taking advantage of
       dpkg's tolerance for multi-line package relationship fields
     - james, gorgo, and doogie bullied me into weakening the recommendation
       of xlib6g-dev and xlib6-altdev on xmanpages to a suggestion
     - tried to clarify the static/shared library situtation in the
       descriptions of xlib6g-dev and xlib6-altdev a bit more
     - add Build-Depends
     - removed Meta-package tag from xbase control data; it's an experiment of
       Culus's that never went anywhere
     - remove twm's recommendation of xterm (not necessary now that twm
       supports the Debian menu system)
     - made xbase-clients description more readable (Closes: #54548)
     - added justifications to several package descriptions for conflicts,
       replaces, provides, and non-shlibs dependencies, if I felt they might be
       non-obvious
     - xserver-common conflicts with xbase-clients versions older than 3.3.6-1;
       some change seems to have been made to xinit lately that prevents long
       delays when trying to start the X server (Closes: #53154)
     - remove xterm's dependency on ncurses-base, which does not exist anymore
   * debian/create-arch-xterm:
     - ship text version of HTML changelog
     - ship termcap and terminfo source files
   * debian/create-indep-rstart: renamed from create-arch-rstart
   * debian/rules:
     - add loud warning if uid is zero when invoking build-old rule
     - get rid of sourcedep-info stuff in environment rule
   * debian/setperms: create-arch-rstart -> create-indep-rstart
   * debian/sourcedep-info: deleted, superseded by Build-Depends
   * debian/twm/menu-method: fix for menu entries that use escaped quotation
     marks (thanks, Joey Hess) (Closes: #54078)
   * debian/twm/postinst: update alternative priority to 40
   * debian/xbase-clients/menu: add "Clocks" hints to the clock-related menu
     entries (thanks, Chris Waters) (Closes: #51990)
   * debian/xdm/Xservers: add "-deferglyphs 16" to the default X server line
     (Closes: #47158)
   * debian/xdm/Xsetup_0: load system Xmodmap file before presenting login
     widget (Closes: #11936)
   * debian/xdm/preinst: if installing, touch /etc/xdm.update-rc.d for use in
     postinst
   * debian/xdm/postinst: only call update-rc.d if /etc/xdm.update-rc.d exists,
     so users can muck with the symlinks if they want to (Closes: #50637)
   * debian/xdm/xdm.options: turn off run-xconsole as the default
     (Closes: #40745)
   * debian/xdm/xdm.options.5: document the change to the default xdm.options
     its justification
   * debian/xfree86-common/XFree86-FAQ.html: updated version
   * debian/xterm/README.Debian:
     - correct error (Closes: #52877)
     - added some info about the new xterm/xterm-xfree86/xterm-debian situation
   * debian/xterm/postinst: work around packaging screwup in 3.3.5-2 (gotta
     deregister documentation with install-docs -r BEFORE managing the
     share/doc symlink business, or dhelp leaves its boogers around)
     (Closes: #50918)
