+coreutils (8.23-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ GNU coreutils package now includes the `realpath' command that used to
+ be found in a separate `realpath' package.
+
+ Even though the GNU version provides all the features of the old Debian
+ version, the behaviour is a bit different, namely:
+
+ * GNU `realpath' and `realpath -s' commands require all but the
+ last path components to exist
+
+ whereas:
+
+ * Debian version of `realpath' required all the path components to exist;
+ * Debian version of `realpath -s' required no path components to exist.
+
+ To get the old behaviour in GNU `realpath' an additional option needs
+ to be used:
+
+ Old Debian realpath New GNU coreutils realpath
+ ----------------------- ----------------------------
+ realpath file(s) => realpath -e file(s)
+ realpath -s file(s) => realpath -s -m file(s)

+coreutils (5.96-3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * The POSIX compatibility level is now set to POSIX 1003.1-2001,
+ which affects the syntax for several commands. For transition
+ purposes, "sort +number" and "tail +number" will be supported
+ for the etch release. Note that these usages are deprecated, and
+ will be removed in etch+1; the recommended usage is "sort -k number"
+ and "tail -n +number". Also, "uniq +number" should be replaced with
+ "uniq -s number" and "touch number filename" should be replaced with
+ "touch -t number filename". To revert to the older syntax, set the
+ environment variable _POSIX2_VERSION to "199209".
