==============================
NEW
==============================

New filter to take over three lines from filters/cron; this
change happened in sarge already, see /usr/share/doc/cron/NEWS.Debian.gz

filters/checksecurity
# checksecurity 2.0.7-10.1
/var/log/setuid.changes*
/var/log/setuid.today
/var/log/setuid.yesterday



filters/emacs21-common
# emacs21-common 21.4a+1-3
/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/**/*.elc
/usr/local/share/emacs/21.4
/usr/local/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp

(One line comes from the existing filters/emacsen-common, but with s/20/21/ .)


==============================
REMOVE
==============================



==============================
RENAME
==============================

[Mentioned at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=334091
 as an afterthought; understandably overlooked.]

tcl8.0  ->  tcl8.3    (tcl8.0 not in etch, 'practically obsolete' in sarge
                       according to the package's own synopsis)

And then copy it to
        ->  tcl8.4    (same filter but people might have only one version
                       of tcl installed, and we don't know which)

mv filters/emacs20 filters/emacs21

and then s/emacs20/emacs21/ )

ASK

filters/dpkg
I wonder if the following line in the filter isn't too general?
/var/lib/dpkg/*

My ex-slink-potato-woody-sarge system has this file; looks pretty crufty to me:
  -rw-rw-r--   1 root root       0 2000-11-10 21:03 predep-package

So maybe we should edit?
-/var/lib/dpkg/*

+/var/lib/dpkg/available-old
+/var/lib/dpkg/cmethopt
+/var/lib/dpkg/diversions

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That's all (for now).  Hope it helps.  Sorry it wasn't ready with 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=410738 .

Best wishes,

Jeremy
