to avoid printing garbage.

* Unify and cleanup Makefile fragment files comments, including information
about version of introduction.

options with arguments, such as “parallel” as DEB_BUILD_OPTION_PARALLEL.

Based on a patch by Baptiste BEAUPLAT <lyknode@cilg.org>. Closes: #956321
* dpkg-source: Check that debian/tests/control has the required fields.
Prompted by Felix Lechner <felix.lechner@lease-up.com>.
* dpkg-deb, dpkg: Do not accept relative pathnames in DEBIAN/conffiles.

be uninitialized.
