Changes:
 debputy (0.1.4) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * debputy.pm: Breaking change: The debputy dh sequence now removes the
     following debhelper tools from the sequence:
 .
     - dh_installdirs
     - dh_install
     - dh_installdocs
     - dh_installchangelogs
     - dh_installexamples
     - dh_installman
     - dh_installcatalogs (!)
     - dh_installdebconf (!)
     - dh_installemacsen (!)
     - dh_installinfo
     - dh_installinit (!)
     - dh_installsysusers
     - dh_installsystemd (!)
     - dh_installsystemduser (!)
     - dh_installmenu (!)
     - dh_ucf (!)
     - dh_perl
     - dh_usrlocal (!)
     - dh_installwm (!)
     - dh_strip_nondeterminism (!)
     - dh_dwz (!)
     - dh_strip
     - dh_missing (!)
 .
     At this point, basically any command *after* dh_auto_install (plus
     dh_installdirs, which runs before dh_auto_install) has been removed.
     As a consequence, the `debputy.pm` sequence no longer interacts very
     well with most debhelper sequence addons.  Basically any command
     relying on content in `debian/<pkg>` will no longer work with
     `dh-debputy`.
 .
     Commands marked with (!) has no or almost no replacement support.
     If a package rely on these commands, odds are debputy will be
     unlikely to support that package.  Other commands will have
     support for common cases (similar to debhelper's default behavior).
 .
   * debputy.py: Breaking change: Remove support for services, debhelper
     provided maintscripts and triggers.
 .
   * New migration features:
     - Auto-migrate `debian/tmpfile` to `debian/tmpfiles`
     - Auto-migrate `debian/README.debian` to `debian/README.Debian`.
       (debhelper allowed both, debputy only supports the latter, which
       is the more common variant).
     - Auto-migrate `debian/doc-base.<suffix>` to
       `debian/<pkg>.<suffix>.doc-base`.  Note that debhelper and debputy
       are not aligned on the naming scheme here. Applying this migration
       causes debhelper to no longer see the doc-base files.
     - Auto-migrate common `debian/install`, `debian/docs` and
       `debian/examples` into the `installations` feature (see
       "manifest changes" below).  Some (but not 100%) dh-exec support
       provided as well.
     - Detect `debian/<foo>` files for unsupported debhelper tools or
       where no migration has been written yet and warn about their usage
       affecting the migration.
     - Migration now works with debhelper compat 13 rather than compat 14
       in most cases.  Notable exception being packages that have a
       `debian/pam`, which will still trigger a min compat of 14.
 .
   * manifest changes:
     - Implement `installations` to replace `dh_install`, `dh_installdocs`
       and `dh_installexamples`.  Please see the `Installations` section
       in `MANIFEST-FORMAT.md` for how to use it.   Note that `debputy`
       installations work differently than debhelper when multiple
       patterns match the same path.
 .
   * debuty plugin API: Important changes:
     - Detached paths are now less violatile. Notably, the `path`
       attribute will now always work for plugins.  The `parent_dir`
       attribute should still be avoided however. Additionally, the
       `.lookup` method will now always trigger an exception for a
       detached path (previously, it would "sometimes" trigger the
       exception depending on the path being resolved).
     - Plugins can now choose whether a Packager Provided File (PPF)
       should have name segments or have architecture specific
       segments.  Additionally, the plugin can request that
       `debian/foo` is considered a fallback for all packages for
       a given file.
     - The `BinaryPackagePath` type has been renamed to
       `VirtualPath`.
 .
   * Improve wording in documentation and fix typos various places.
   * Remove `> /dev/null` for `systemd-tmpfiles`.
   * Add support for systemd's sysusers file.
   * Provide standard excludes for commonly unwanted things
   * Support pruning changelog files. When pruning NEWS, keep only entries listed in the dch
   * Ensure man, info pages, changelog files and Debian.NEWS files are always
     compressed.  Previously, these would only be compressed if they had a
     certain size. This change makes `debputy` match `dh_compress` better.
   * migration: Renames count as successful changes.  Previously, the migration
     tool would say it could do renames and then claim nothing could be done
     followed by not doing anything at the end.
   * Fix bug where mode was used as mtime for symlinks.
   * manifest/parser: Recognise -dbgsym packages.  The package names
     are now known and will not trigger an "unknown" package
     exception when used. However, currently no directives are allowed
     for dbgsym packages so the net result of specifying them is still
     an error.
   * Migrate to the python logging.  Along with a dependency on colorlogs,
     this means that output will have some color support. This changes means
     more "info" level messages now have basic colors.
   * util.py: Fix double quote handling when doing shell escapes.
   * debputy.py: Improve error reporting a bit.  Notably, previously
     some exceptions that should have been caught and rendered in a
     user-friendly way now are as intended.  Additionally, the debputy
     frontend now catches a common cause of exceptions (`RuntimeError`)
     and classifies them as "Unexpected exceptions" along with a note
     recommending filing a bug for debputy.
   * debputy.py: Hide unstable/internal commands.  Most of the frontend
     commands are now hidden behind an `internal-command` subcommand.
     this means that the default help output now only uses 1-2 lines on
     the internal or unstable subcommands.
   * debputy.py: Provide a `check-manifest` command to parse the manifest
     and check for obvious errors without having to build debs.
   * Do not mandate dpkg archs to be known. Previously, debputy
     would trigger an error if the manifest in the `arch-matches`
     condition listed an unknown dpkg arch.  This error has been
     removed as it is common practice to list new architectures
     long before dpkg in stable/oldstable knows the architecture.
   * Tweak the auto-generated maintscripts. Notably, indentation
     is now two spaces and applied better to avoid weird hanging
     lines. Additionally, the first line of a snippet is no longer
     accidentially merged into the condition line, which could
     cause syntax errors if the fixed line did not have
     indentation.
   * Detect and register python byte compiliation for public
     dist-packages dirs and default "package private" dirs
     similar to `dh_python3`.  This is done because `debptuy`
     cannot rely on `dh_python3` when it is self-hosting.
     Other `dh_python3` are not ported.
   * Move all of dh-debputy's files from `usr/share/debputy`
     to `usr/share/dh-debputy`. In tandem with the previous
     change, this causes debputy now to properly integrate with
     the python byte compilation system.
   * Correct the "inner" snippet order of generated maintscripts.
     All postrm and prerm snippets are supposed in reverse order
     and previously some snippets were not reordered correctly.
   * migrate-from-dh: Reduce the output to make warnings less likely
     to drown in other output.
   * migrate-from-dh: Better error reporting on failed executable
     dh config emulation.
   * migrate-from-dh: Require an explicit --apply-changes for
     migrations to performed.
