101. By Michael Jeanson on 2012-09-14

* Cherry-pick fixes for sync() behaviour in dpkg (LP: #624877):
  - Disable by default usage of synchronous sync(2), as it causes undesired
    I/O on unrelated file systems. Closes: #588339, #595927, #600075
  - On Linux use sync_file_range() to initiate asynchronous writeback
    of just unpacked files. Suggested by Ted Ts'o <email address hidden>.
    Thanks to Jonathan Nieder <email address hidden>. Closes: #605009

scripts/Dpkg/Source/Archive.pm: Drop -k parameter from the tar call used
by dpkg-source to extract tarballs. Upstream binary files modified by the
packager were not properly installed due to this. Patch based on that of
Raphaël Hertzog (upstream, debian git). (LP: #633015)

* Backport my patch from dpkg 1.15.6.1:
  - Accept source packages without "Format" field for compatibility with
    very old source packages (LP: #632280).

* Backport proposed patch from Guillem Jover:
  - On Linux, call sync() (which is synchronous) before rename() rather
    than calling fsync() once per file (LP: #570805).
