** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  config-package-dev 4.13 in precise fixes three issues found while testing 
config-package-dev 4.12 on oneiric:
  
  • Because of an incompatible Perl 5.12 change that broke the ‘encode’ script, 
all config packages built with config-package-dev now conflict with each other.
  • DEB_CHECK_FILES and DEB_TRANSFORM_FILES cannot find dpkg’s md5sums for 
files in Multi-Arch: same packages.
  • dpkg and dpkg-divert may write localized output on non-English locales, 
which breaks parsing.
  
  [Development Fix]
  config-package-dev 4.13 has been in precise for 3 weeks.  It has also been 
tested on all Ubuntu releases as part of Debathena <http://debathena.mit.edu/>.
  
  [Stable Fix]
  These fixes are the only changes between config-package-dev 4.12 and 4.13, so 
this qualifies as an upstream microrelease.  (Upstream Git repository: 
http://andersk.mit.edu/gitweb/config-package-dev.git )
  
  [Test Case]
  Build any package that uses config-package-dev diversions, such as 
debathena-quota-config:
  
http://debathena.mit.edu/apt/pool/debathena-config/d/debathena-quota-config/debathena-quota-config_1.4.dsc
  and note that the resulting binary has ‘Conflicts: diverts-’ instead of 
‘Conflicts: diverts-usr++bin++quota’ (hence any two such packages will conflict 
with each other).
  
  [Regression Potential]
- Because this has been well tested already, regressions are unlikely.  
config-package-dev is a development package and not user-facing, so any 
regressions will be low-severity.
+ Because this has been well tested already, regressions are unlikely.  
config-package-dev is a development package and not user-facing, and it 
currently has no reverse-build-dependencies in the archive, so any regressions 
will be low-severity.
