Workaround for the kernel build system stupidity (ignores CC from

* long options for --quiet and --debug and enforced quiet more aggresively
* update command speedups:
+ fixed the apt-policy data precaching (about three times faster now)
+ writting version strings from m-a, not running control scripts. Since
there are only few "weird" packages with special control scripts today,
the command is ultra fast now
* more automatic text wrapping (using libterm-size-perl or
libterm-readkey-perl)
* recoded the Japanese translation to UTF-8 to edit it and fix fuzzyness
* moved from fixed dialog sizes to variable sizes where it makes sense
(closes: #300208)

module-assistant (0.8.3) unstable; urgency=low
* wrapping most rules in common-rules.sh trough ROOT_CMD. There is a remote
possibility that it may break things, but we will see (closes: #303838)
* KDREV detection code cleanup, does not stumble over (none) any more if
neither -headers not -image has been installed (closes: Bug#303543)
* now also adding modules with failed builds to temporary blacklist,
avoiding doomed installation attempts (closes: #303407)
* if /usr/src/linux seems to be non-existent, print a warning and set KVERS
to unknown rather than to ".."
* made the list output easier to read and more compact
* the -i option slightly modified (meaning now: non-interactive), renamed
the long option to non-inter
* code review, now avoiding duplicated compilation by using flag files (for
"old" packages) or the prediction function for m-a using source packages.
Repeated unpack operations can be skipped with an option. All that
makes "full-automatic binary installation" (#239695, #303636, #299727)
possible but needs a better crystallization of the integration method.
* Added an example script for this functionality (for cron or so) and a
compressed set of templates for the debian/* directory of future packages.

module-assistant (0.8.2) unstable; urgency=high
* Yippie! Found and fixed an old Heisenbug. "Random" log lines accidentaly
have been used as the initial message in new progress windows created
during the build process and this sometimes messed up the dialog call
because of ugly things like `' quotes (closes: #234733, #283836, #290126)

* removed the zaptel workaround, using a normal script now (closes: #301484) * added symlink slmodem -> sl-modem * made the gauge updating code unbuffered (more or less) * added a new list expansion keyword allu which allows a similar thing that kernel-package without additional options does, but also updates the source

Also choosing the "more complete" kernel source directory if two candidates are available.

defaults when detected in via /etc/lsb-release

really needed for regular m-a users but apparently useful for some people,

building und cache updating. Whiptail is used alternatively instead of
dialog but not enabled for everything because of "missing features"
