  * mk-build-deps:
    + Add patch by Joost van Baal-Ilić to allow building a package even if the
      package doesn't have any build dependencies.  Closes: #910369
  * who-uploads:
    + Fix bad signal handling that could potentially lead to insecure use of
      /tmp.  Thanks to Jakub Wilk for reporting.  Closes: #911720
  * dd-list:
    + Update documentation to match reality, as dd-list is now using

    + Document the role of "Suggests"ed packages.

      expected to be marked as hard "Depends".  For now the following scripts
      are considered core: dcmd dd-list debchange debcheckout debclean debdiff
      debsign debuild uscan.
  * debian/control:
    + Per the above definition of "core scripts", promote the following
      packages to Depends: fakeroot, file, gnupg|gnupg2, gpgv|gpgv2,
      libfile-which-perl, libwww-perl, patchutils, wdiff.
    + Generate the package description from the README.  MR: !77
