* Install debian/changelog as "changelog" in native packages.
* Stamp generated debian/rules with yada version string.

yada (0.4) unstable; urgency=high
* Fix a nasty bug in the code to recover after a failed patching or
unpatching run. Urgency=high because of this and the conffiles bug
fixed in version 0.3.

yada (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
* A couple of bug fixes to do with "yada install -conffile".
* "yada install" died with "-conffile", not knowing to put files
in /etc.
* The "conffiles" control area file was ending up in the root directory,
not in the control area.

yada (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Yada revision 1.40.
* debian/packages can now contain comments. Lines starting with a
"#" are now ignored, except as part of a multi-line field value.
* New field, "Patches:", which gives a wildcard pattern; files in
debian/ matching the pattern are treated as patches, for egcs-style
automated patching and unpatching. Note, this doesn't work -quite-
like egcs's dpatches; read yada.txt before using.
* "yada yada" is now more verbose.
* In "yada yada", guess package name by breaking at -last- dash,
not first.
* "yada yada" now creates an initial changelog if there is no
debian/changelog.
* "yada yada" now creates the debian/ directory if it doesn't exist.
* Changed meaning of "-conffile" to "yada install": now means to
install the file in /etc, rather than meaning to add the file to
the conffiles list.
* All files in /etc are now added to conffiles automatically.
* Add back in the $|=1 which I mistakenly removed, thinking it was
for debugging. Commented why it should be there. This tidies up
the presentation of the copyright file.
* Warn if it looks like a proper copyright notice was omitted from the
"Copyright:" field.
* For native packages with no "Major-changes:" field, don't use an
undefined variable, and don't put two spurious newlines into the
copyright file.

yada (0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Yada revision 1.34.
* Packaged yada as a Debian package.
* More consistent handling of fields with empty first lines.
* If the copyright licence of the package isn't standard, the first
line of the "Copyright:" field should now be a single dot, rather
than being empty.
* I thought that install-docs could cope with several documents in one
doc-base file. It can't. Yada now looks for "Document:" tags
within the doc-base field, splits up individual doc-base files, and
calls install-docs for them each separately.
* Bomb out if we see an unrecognised field in debian/packages.
* "yada install -script" added (equivalent to "-bin -unstripped") to
ease installing of binaries without having them automatically
stripped.
* Yada now elides some otherwise useless junk from debian/rules in
two cases: (a) there are no build-depends or build-conflicts, or
(b) there are no packages specific to particular architectures.
* More error checking in the compression and symlink clean-up phases,
and fixed a nasty bug therein which would corrupt any symlink with
"../../" in its target string, such as "undocumented" symlinks from
X11 manpage directories.
* New command "yada yada", which copies or updates the yada script in
your debian/ directory, and creates a skeleton debian/packages for
you if you don't have one already.
* Made a start writing some man pages.
* A few miscellaneous bug fixes.
