* Use debhelper compat level v7 when building packages. All changes
since v4 seem safe for alien's generated rules files.
* Use dh_prep instead of deprecated dh_clean -k.
working in recent versions of rpm, as shipped by red hat (Debian's rpm,
confusingly, continues to support rpm -bb, possibly because of how I hack
its popt stuff up for debian.) This may fail with older, pre-rpmbuild
rpm's; if so you should upgrade to a more current version I guess.
* Updated js2k patch from Gerald Turner.

fully conformant with the LSB), and it can take LSB packages and convert
them into other formats. Unlike all the other conversions, lsb packages's
dependancy (on lsb) and their package scripts are preserved in the
generated packages (when allowed by the target package format). This means
your distribution will need to have a package named 'lsb' for the result
to be installable. (Debian will have one soon..)
* Suggest rpm-lsb, which is the preferred rpm to build lsb packages with.
Use it if it's present, plain old rpm otherwise.
automatically should make it start adding ldconfig calls
as appropriate to maintainer scripts. Closes: #86088
* It does mean you need debhelper 3.x for alien to convert to
deb now, so alien-extra will need an update.
* Set locale to C while using rpm to pick at the .rpm file we are going to
convert, Closes: #42282
* Moved /usr/lib/alien to /usr/share/alien
* Added --nopatch option, Closes: #47069
