   * Enhancements:
     - Check for pkg-config(1) files that reference unknown shared objects
       via (for example) "Libs: -lfoo". (Closes: #920699)
     - Check for packages that use dh_runit without specifying a Breaks on
       the "${runit:Breaks}" substvar. (Closes: #920299)
     - Require that build paths aren't "/" when checking for
       file-references-package-build-path.
     - Check for packages that ship with .sass-cache directories.
       (Closes: #920593)
     - Detect accidental ".git.git" (etc.) in Vcs-Git headers.
       (Closes: #921084)
 .
   * Bug fixes:
     - Fix FTBFS by avoiding "self" false-positives when checking for
       file-references-package-build-path in the Lintian test suite.
       (Closes: #920536)
     - Ignore duplicate .buildinfo files which can be supplied by using
       mergechanges(1) from devscripts. (Closes: #920469)
     - Rewrite "old" version calculation to prevent false-positives in the
       maintainer-script-supports-ancient-package-version tag.
       (Closes: #920638)
     - Prevent false-positives in the command-with-path-in-maintainer-script
       checks for sections automatically added by debhelper.
       (Closes: #920568)
     - Ignore quilt .pc directories when checking for
       inconsistent-appstream-metadata-license. (Closes: #920647)
 .
   * Reporting improvements:
     - Include the upload and release dates in the output of the
       maintainer-script-supports-ancient-package-version tag.
     - Add a reference to the official specification in the long description
       of the unnecessary-source-date-epoch-assignment tag.
 .
   * Misc:
     - Move to "Semantic Versioning" (https://semver.org/) scheme.
     - Print Carp tracebacks in --debug mode.
 .
