Subject: dpkg 1.3.0, hello 1.3-7: new source package format

From: Ian Jackson <[email-masked]>

I'd like people to take a look at what I've done here.  The dpkg 1.3.0
binary package is fine to install and use (and indeed, it fixes a bug
or two), but the whole thing ought not to be moved even into unstable
until we've finalised the new source package format.

The new dpkg contains a bevy of new scripts; the new hello package
should produce the same binary package, but the source is all
rearranged.  For a more complex source example you can see dpkg.

Documentation, in the form of the new programmers' and policy manuals,
will be forthcoming very shortly.

Ian.
