Generated RPM packages provides directories that conflict with
the "filesystem" package. As a result, do not ship commonly-used
directories.
Patch provided by woob in the above ticket webpage.

alien (8.94) unstable; urgency=medium
* QA upload.
* Fix "FTBFS with perl 5.22 in experimental (MakeMaker changes)":
remove override_dh_auto_install in debian/rules, and
use DESTDIR in Makefile.PL.
(Closes: #792371)
Add support for control.tar, control.tar.xz, data.tar, data.tar.xz,
data.tar.bz2 (deprecated) and data.tar.lzma (deprecated), so that the
fallback code is in line with current dpkg-deb.
The deprecated members are supported because there might be such binary
packages laying around.
There are some OS like Tizne which use rpm's and build
them for armv7l architecture. In debain nomenclature
this architecture is armel, so armv7l should be
an alias to armel.

Note that lsb-rpm has been dropped from rpm in Debian unstable. So
this changes nothing really; it already fell back to rpmbuild.
And I can find no mention of either lsb-rpm or lsb-rpmbuild in the LSB
spec, although I didn't look very hard.
The runpipe interface is not a good one, it would be better to use
something that does not expose to the shell.
As a quick fix, quote filenames in runpipe calls. Too bad if you have a
quote character in a file though. Later need to find a better interface
or do full shell escaping.
* 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.
(Patch by Duane Waddle, on a bug tracking system I don't frequent, that was
about the "expire" it 4 days from now. We got lucky Duane, but please use
the Debian BTS next time!)
* Avoid uninitialized value warning when debian/rules fails to run
due to alien being run in a noexec directory. Closes: #579216
* Prevent DESTROY stomping on alien's exit code sometimes.
Instead, avoid populating fields with empty strings if rpm fails to
get a field value, either due to not knowing the field, or due to the
field not being set.
Recent versions of rpm (such as 4.7.0) ignore the buildroot setting in
the spec file. Use the --buildroot option to ensure the correct
buildroot is used.
