(Closes: #470633) * Clarify the wording around which build dependencies must be satisfied for different debian/rules targets and add a footnote to the description of the build-arch and build-indep targets explaining why this split does not currently work as desired. (Closes: #328951) * Avoid "Debianised" or "Debianized" in favor of just "Debian" or "Debian package" as appropriate. Patch from Ben Finney. (Closes: #586163) * Switch to source format 3.0 (native).
