Orphaned dpkg-repack.

14. By Joey Hess <email address hidden> on 2014-08-31

* Do not filter list and conffiles control files from --control-path.
  Thanks, Guillem Jover
* Use Die instead of die so that cleanup is performed on error.
  Thanks, Guillem Jover
* Use dpkg-deb directly instead of indirectly through the dpkg frontend
  Thanks, Guillem Jover
* Misc man page fixes.
  Thanks, Guillem Jover

13. By Joey Hess <email address hidden> on 2011-12-06

* Fix generation of conffiles list file. For some reason dpkg-query
  does not list this file, so it has to be generated when there's a
  Conffiles stanza in the package status. Closes: #651165
* Remove the Conffiles stanza from the generated package's control file;
  dpkg ignores it anyway.

12. By Joey Hess <email address hidden> on 2011-10-08

Fix check for non-installed packages to not misfire on a package that
has no dpkg control files. Closes: #644619

11. By Joey Hess <email address hidden> on 2011-06-17

* Does not need to depend on dpkg-dev. Closes: #616318
* Fix dpkg-querty call to support --rootdir. (Evan Dandresa) Closes: #630765

10. By Michael Vogt on 2011-06-17

* Merge from debian unstable. Remaining changes:
  - Unbreak the --root option by passing --admindir to dpkg-query.
  - debian/control: Drop dpkg-dev dependency. It's not needed and pulls
    build-essential, g++, etc. into our desktop images.
