+
+  * Add Breaks: debian-security-support (<< 2019.04.25). Closes: #928172.
+    This is the first version of debian-security-support which does not break
+    when /etc/debian_version contains a string in the form "10.x".

+  - Add VERSION_CODENAME to os-release. Closes: #829245. This is optional
+    according to the specs but some people find it useful. Please note that

+  * Add CC0-1.0 to common-licenses. Closes: #859649, #882628.
+    Source: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt.
+  * Simplify debian/rules a little bit by dropping install target
+    and using override_dh_auto_install instead. Closes: #886901.
+    Package should now build from source again in every supported way.
+    Thanks to Daniel Schepler for the report and to Niels Thykier for
+    clarifying the true nature of this bug.
+  * Do not create /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local on new installs anymore.
+    Do not create it on upgrades either, as we don't support upgrades
+    skipping stable releases, and even less skipping several releases.
+  * Standards-Version: 4.1.3.

+    License texts taken from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/.
+  * Add a default /etc/update-motd.d/10-uname script to
+    recover the traditional motd behaviour. Closes: #859124.

+base-files (9.8) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Release candidate for stretch as stable:
+  - Use "9" as version in /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net.
+    (never expected to change after stretch is released)
+  - Use 9.0 as version in /etc/debian_version.
+    (expected to change at every point release)
+  - Change PRETTY_NAME in /usr/lib/os-release, adding 9 as version number
+    and "(stretch)" as codename. Add also VERSION_ID and VERSION.

+  * Standards-Version: 3.9.8 (no special changes for this).

+
+base-files (9.7) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Do not care about /etc/nsswitch.conf anymore, as the file has been
+    moved to libc-bin. Closes: #827095.
+  [ Guillem Jover ]
+  * Do not use gzip compression anymore to build .deb and use the default.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Sun, 27 Nov 2016 19:29:38 +0100
+
+base-files (9.6) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Add lintian override for /etc/os-release.
+  * Add lintian overrides for /usr/share/common-licenses.
+  * Standards-Version: 3.9.7 (no special changes for this).
+  * Switch to dh. Hopefully this should make the package easier
+    to fork. Closes: #693423.
+  * Change default /etc/profile to not warn about possibly undefined
+    variables PS1 and BASH. Closes: #776154.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Fri, 04 Mar 2016 17:33:40 +0100
+
+base-files (9.5) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * os-release: Drop trailing slash in SUPPORT_URL variable, as the URL
+    is not supposed to have it. Closes: #781809, #800791.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Wed, 28 Oct 2015 23:29:08 +0100
+
+base-files (9.4) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Fix two install_from_default() calls in postinst that were still
+    using the old calling convention, making debootstrap to fail.
+    Thanks to Steven Shiau for the report. Closes: #795952
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Tue, 18 Aug 2015 12:06:00 +0200
+
+base-files (9.3) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Change /usr/share/base-files/dot.profile (the default /root/.profile)
+    to not fail with new mesg behaviour in stretch. Closes: #794727.
+  * Add extra code in postinst so that people who never modified
+    their /root/.profile from jessie get the fixed version. This is
+    done by the update_to_current_default() function, which is now
+    more general and allows updating files not in /etc.
+  * While we are at it, modify install_from_default() function so that
+    it's called in the same simplified way as update_to_current_default().
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Mon, 17 Aug 2015 17:50:38 +0200
+
+base-files (9.2) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Create md5sums in a reproducible way.
+  * Use "dpkg-parsechangelog -S Date" to get the date.
+  * Allow building with umasks other than 022, as far as
+    they make a minimum of sense. Closes: #774498.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Sun, 17 May 2015 14:44:10 +0200
+
+base-files (9.1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Use gzip -n to stop recording current time in gzip headers.
+  * Fix mtimes before building the binary package.
+  * The package should now build reproducibly. Closes: #774498.
+    Thanks to Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Fri, 15 May 2015 12:45:34 +0200
+
+base-files (9) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Changed issue, issue.net, debian_version and os-release to read
+    "stretch/sid", and dropped VERSION and VERSION_ID from os-release.
+  * Changed HOME_URL and SUPPORT_URL in os-release from http to https,
+    as those are the preferred URLs now.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:00:50 +0200
+
+base-files (8) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Release for jessie as stable:
+  - Use "8" as version in /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net. As usual, this
+    is never expected to change once that jessie is released as Debian 8.
+  - Use 8.0 as version in /etc/debian_version. As usual, this is expected
+    to change at every point release.
+  - Changed PRETTY_NAME in /usr/lib/os-release, adding 8 as version number
+    and "(jessie)" as codename. Added also VERSION_ID and VERSION.
+    This file, /usr/lib/os-release, is not expected to change either.
+  - Updated README (jessie -> stretch).
+  * Packages are not expected to rely on the contents of any of these
+    files, but if they do, they might better break now while we can still
+    fix them.

+
+base-files (7.10) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Dropped "chown root:root" lines in postinst, as they are
+    completely redundant. The postinst script is run by root.
+    This might also help as a workaround for Bug#766459.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:35:32 +0100
+
+base-files (7.9) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * The change introduced in version 7.7 regarding /mnt seems to break
+    the ability of debootstrap currently in wheezy to create a sid chroot.
+    The case of initial install of /mnt is already handled by postinst line
+    "install_directory mnt 755 root" inside the big "if" block that
+    creates a bunch of other things, so we can restrict re-creating the /mnt
+    directory on upgrades to the case when we are really upgrading.
+    Therefore, the code is moved to the same "if" block where /etc/profile
+    and /etc/nsswitch.conf are upgraded to their new defaults when unchanged.
+    This might help as a workaround for Bug#766459.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:33:22 +0100
+
+base-files (7.8) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * The /etc/profile.d mechanism may be used to override PS1 setting
+    in /etc/bash.bashrc, which is particularly nice because there is
+    no need to modify /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc for that,
+    but this is no longer possible if /etc/profile.d is sourced
+    before /etc/bash.bashrc. Therefore, /etc/profile.d is sourced
+    after /etc/bash.bashrc again. Closes: #766351.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:10:30 +0200
+
+base-files (7.7) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Updated FAQ to explain that only /etc/debian_version is updated at
+    every point release, using Debian 8.x as an example, to be read by
+    users of jessie during its lifetime as stable. Closes: #621757.
+  * Changed default /etc/profile to source /etc/bash.bashrc after
+    processing profile.d stuff, not before. Closes: #698479.
+  * Drop comment lines about umask in /etc/profile, as it has been
+    there for enough time for everybody to take note.
+  * The directory /mnt is not included inside base-files.deb anymore.
+    Instead, it is created by postinst the very first time base-files
+    is installed (by debootstrap), or when upgrading from an earlier
+    base-files version. This should make the usual upgrade at every point
+    release to work even if /mnt is a stale mount point. Closes: #763405.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:20:14 +0200
+
+base-files (7.6) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * By default, when the computer is booting, green and red colors are used
+    to signal that a service started successfully, or that it did not.
+    In this context, trying to use colors for something else might be
+    misleading or even confusing. For this reason, I'm dropping
+    ANSI_COLOR from /usr/lib/os-release. Closes: #758246.
+  * Clarified in the copyright file that the Artistic License currently
+    in common-licenses is actually the one coming from Perl. Closes: #764553.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Thu, 09 Oct 2014 20:27:00 +0200
+
+base-files (7.5) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Made /etc/os-release symlink to be relative, as an absolute symlink
+    seems to break boot when using a dracut initrd. Thanks to Daniel Schaal
+    for the report. Closes: #755394.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Sun, 20 Jul 2014 12:10:26 +0200
+
+base-files (7.4) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Updated FAQ to match current policy wording about common-licenses.
+    Thanks to Gioele Barabucci for the report. Closes: #723195.
+  * Moved /etc/os-release to /usr/lib/os-release. Put a symlink pointing to
+    the new place. Thanks to Marco d'Itri for the report. Closes: #753658.
+  * Changed BUG_REPORT_URL in os-release to https, as the BTS has moved.
+    Thanks to Martin Zobel-Helas for the report. Closes: #754455.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Sat, 19 Jul 2014 18:00:08 +0200
+
+base-files (7.3) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Added gshadow entry to default /etc/nsswitch.conf. Closes: #699090.
+  * Update /etc/nsswitch.conf if not modified by the user. Closes: #716786.
+  * Added nsswitch.conf.md5sums which works exactly like profile.md5sums.
+  * Changed debian/check-etc-profile-md5sum to debian/check-md5sum-etc.
+    This is now used twice in debian/rules, for profile and nsswitch.conf.
+  * Build package with -Zgzip to ease bootstrapping. Closes: #740278.
+  * Reformat paragraph in previous changelog to avoid too long lines.
+  * Added build-arch and build-indep targets to debian/rules.
+  * Standards-Version: 3.9.5 (no special changes for this).
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Sun, 04 May 2014 14:39:06 +0200
+
+base-files (7.2) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Changed issue, issue.net, debian_version and os-release to read
+    "jessie/sid", and dropped VERSION and VERSION_ID from os-release.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Sun, 05 May 2013 18:19:00 +0200
+
+base-files (7.1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Added Multi-Arch: foreign. This is needed even if base-files is
+    "Essential: yes" because there are quite a number of packages
+    having versioned dependencies on it. Closes: #695863.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:55:36 +0100
+
+base-files (7.0) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Oops. Even if the Breaks on sendfile does not help APT to decide about
+    the configuration order, removing the breaks is wrong, because then it is
+    possible to upgrade base-files and not sendfile, which would effectively
+    break sendfile. Readded Breaks on sendfile.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:05:12 +0100
+
+base-files (7) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Added 89126d8bba3325594e1539bcc97847f3 to the list of /etc/profile
+    md5sums which are ok to be replaced by the current default version to
+    help sendfile to fix its /etc/profile modification bug in a single
+    upgrade (instead of waiting for the next point release). Closes: #689835.
+    Drop "unmodified" word in postinst, as it may not always be true.
+  * Dropped versioned Breaks on sendfile, as it had no effect.
+  * Changed debian_version, issue, issue.net and os-release to read "7.0".
+    Added also "(wheezy)" in VERSION and PRETTY_NAME.
+  * Added VERSION and VERSION_ID to /etc/os-release, for release as stable.
+    Please remember: Applications should not rely on these fields to be set.
+  * Updated README (wheezy -> jessie).

+
+base-files (6.12) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Added HOME_URL, SUPPORT_URL and BUG_REPORT_URL to /etc/os-release.
+    Reported by Raphaël Hertzog. Closes: #681480.
+  * Added Breaks: sendfile (<< version in squeeze) to help sendfile bug
+    regarding improper modification of /etc/profile to be fixed faster.
+    Reported by Andreas Beckmann. Closes: #689835.
+  * Make /var/run and /var/lock absolute again.
+    Reported by Roger Leigh. Closes: #690345.

+
+base-files (6.11) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Create /etc/motd instead of /etc/motd.tail, with same default contents,
+    as initscripts is now using /etc/motd again as a real file.
+
+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Sun, 17 Jun 2012 14:14:44 +0200
+
+base-files (6.10) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Record md5sums of unmodified /etc/profile versions so that we can
+    upgrade it automatically, as it's done in Ubuntu.
+  * In the initial install, create /etc/motd.tail instead of /etc/motd,
+    as /etc/motd is converted to a symlink by initscripts and /etc/motd.tail
+    is since a long time the master copy to which the output of uname is added.
+    Remove postinst code which tries to update /etc/motd, as it does no longer
+    work and the file has not changed in a lot of time. Will add code to
+    update /etc/motd.tail based on md5sum if it ever changes in a future.
+  * Implement proposed transition plan for group staff in /usr/local.
+    The file /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local is now created on upgrades
+    from releases before 6.10 and (for now) also on initial install.
+  * Removed reference to /etc/nsswitch.conf in extended description, as
+    the file is being moved to libc-bin.

+  * We can't make /etc/profile a conffile without triggering a piuparts
+    check which is considered to be serious. Sorry, /etc/profile

+
+base-files (6.8) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Added /etc/os-release. Closes: #659853. Note: for stable releases
+    this file will look like it's suggested in the bug report above.
+    Also, like /etc/debian_version, this file should only be considered
+    meaningful for stable releases, which testing and unstable are not.
+  * By popular demand, make /etc/profile a conffile. Closes: #668871.
+  * Added /sys for all systems but the Hurd. Closes: #670091.
+  * Added /proc for the Hurd, as it's already being used.
+  * Added a lintian override for /root being 700.
