* Updates to git-debimport.
* The git 1.7.0-rc1 release breaks status -a, replacing it with a --dry-run
  option to commit. There is no option compatible with git from both before
  and after that so go with the flow and version the git Depends accordingly.
  Closes: #587178
* Switch the git Depends from git-core too while we are at that.
* Tweak the package sorting a bit further. Prune off all non-version text
  when feeding the comparator, since the initial find may include packages
  in different subdirs which can otherwise distort the sort. Protect the
  arithmetic operation in the sort from tripping the `set -e` trap if the
  sort does go all the way up to the first entry in the list. Thanks to
  Yann Dirson for noticing this and sending patches. Closes: #587175
* Add support for format 3.0 packages. Thanks to Craig Small for a proof
  patch that showed how little actually needed to be changed to provide
  initial support for debian.tar.gz 'diffs'. Closes: #565503
* Add support for xz and bz2 compressed packages too.
* Fix for debsnap gratuitously breaking its argument passing convention,
  but this now works again with snapshot.debian.org if you have debsnap
  from devscripts 2.10.63 or later (modulo some already known bugs in
  debsnap itself with handling certain snapshot data). Closes: #521764
* Handle tarballs that don't have their source under a single subdir.
  dpkg-source special cases that, so do something similar here too rather
  than just blindly stripping off the top level when unpacking.
  Closes: #587181
