+
+	* Merge branch 'sourcev3'. It contains an extensive refactoring of
+	dpkg-source around many new modules in scripts/Dpkg/Source/.
+
+	General purpose changes:
+	* scripts/Dpkg/IPC.pm: New module offering fork_and_exec() to
+	conveniently execute any program in a child process. It hides
+	all the error checking and lets you easily redirect input and
+	output streams.
+	* scripts/t/800_Dpkg_IPC.t: Non-regression tests for the module
+	above.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Exit.pm: New module to register functions
+	that would be called if the process was interrupted by a signal.
+	Useful to cleanup temporary files if we're interrupted while doing
+	some heavy I/O operation (as dpkg-source can do).
+	* scripts/Dpkg/ErrorHandling.pm (info, errormsg): info() reports
+	informational notices on STDOUT and errormsg() displays an error
+	message on STDERR without dying. Use it only when you will die
+	later on but want to display all errors before doing so.
+	* scripts/dpkg-source.pl: Heavy rewrite/refactoring based on
+	all the modules listed below.
+	* man/dpkg-source.1: Update the manual page to document all the
+	source package formats and the associated options.
+
+	Dpkg::Source::* infrastructural modules:
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Compressor.pm: Compress and uncompress a
+	stream of data.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/CompressedFile.pm: Base class used to
+	provide on-the-fly compression and decompression of any file.
+	Dpkg::Source::Archive and Dpkg::Source::Patch inherit from it.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Archive.pm: Create and manipulate tar files.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Patch.pm: Create and manipulate patch files.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Functions.pm: Misc helper functions.
+	erasedir() removes recursively a directory in a safe manner.
+	fixperms() make sure the permissions of all files in a tree
+	are sane.
+
+	Source package formats:
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package.pm: Base class implementing the
+	functions common to all source package formats.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V1_0.pm: Implement the actual
+	"Format: 1.0" source package format.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2_0.pm: Implement the wig&pen
+	format as specified in http://www.dpkg.org/dpkg/NewSourceFormat.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/native.pm: Native source
+	packages (single tarball) that supports all compressions
+	methods. Compatible with "Format: 1.0" if gzip compression is
+	used.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/quilt.pm: Next generation
+	source package format based on wig&pen. It supports multiple
+	.orig.tar files and all compressions schemes (gzip, bzip2, lzma).
+	It uses quilt to apply patches at unpack time and is able to add
+	a new patch at the end of the series if changes are present
+	at build-time.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/bzr.pm: Experimental format
+	based on a bzr repository.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/git.pm: Experimental format
+	based on a git repository.
+	* scripts/Dpkg/Source/Package/V3_0/custom.pm: Special purpose
+	format that can be used to create source packages with arbitrary
+	files. Useful for helper tools (like git-buildpackage) which can
+	generate source files by themselves.

     libraries at the binary level (instead the new warning above is activated
     by default: it's less strict and more useful).
+  * Merge of the sourcev3 branch. dpkg-source has been heavily refactored to
+    make it easier to support multiple source package formats. Several new
+    source package formats have been added:
+    - the format "2.0" is the original wig&pen
+    - the format "3.0 (quilt)" is based on 2.0. It uses a tarball for the
+      debian directory and can thus include binary files. Binaries
+      outside of the debian directory can be also included if they
+      are listed in debian/source/include-binaries (and option
+      --include-binaries will generate this file automatically).
+      Closes: #4588, #4628
+    - thus it will also preserve timestamps on Debian-provided
+      documentation like README.Debian. Closes: #366555
+    - it handles an explicit series of patches and the patch can thus be
+      named without constraints. Patches can contain arbitrary
+      headers/comments between file chunks. Closes: #363018
+    - it ignores changes on a number of temporary and VCS-specific files
+      by default. Closes: #203792, #323909
+    - the patches in debian/patches can remove files. Closes: #12564
+    - the patches are applied at unpack time. Closes: #463048
+    - the formats "3.0 (quilt/native)" don't include VCS directories by
+      default. Closes: #435126
+    - the format "3.0 (custom)" can be used to create a source package
+      containing arbitrary files. It's useful for helper tools that can
+      generate the files by themselves in a more efficient way
+      (like all the *-buildpackage tools). Closes: #246918
+    - the formats "3.0 (git/bzr)" are experimental formats based
+      on corresponding VCS repositories.
+  * dpkg-source has a new --no-check option. It disables GPG check and
+    checksums checks. Closes: #220758
