   [ Steve Langasek ]
   * debian/patches/fix-manpage-htmlchars.patch: patch all the manpages from
     3.2.0pre2, which ended up with html entity encodings embedded in them
     by mistake.  This patch is expected to go away again for 3.2.0pre3.
   * fix up the FHS patches for the new upstream release:
     - debian/patches/fhs-newpaths.patch has been merged upstream, drop it.
     - debian/patches/fhs-filespaths.patch has been mostly applied; only one
       path usage remains inconsistent, and a new .tdb has been added with
       the wrong path so fix this up here too.
     - debian/patches/fhs-filespaths-debatable.patch: updated for some new
       uses of lock_path() which we map to cache_path().
     - debian/patches/fhs-assignpaths.patch: patch source/m4/check_path.m4
       instead of source/configure.in.
   * debian/patches/smbstatus-locking.patch: merged upstream
   * debian/patches/smbpasswd-syslog.patch: updated to account for new
     calls to logging functions
   * Handle the new libraries available in samba 3.2: ship libwbclient as a
     shared library, link against the system libtalloc (adding a
     build-dependency on libtalloc-dev - which is actually sort of kludgy
     because this only works as long as the system libtalloc has the same
     soname as the one within the samba tree, this should be fixed to
     properly build against the system libtalloc), and suppress generation
     of the tdb and netapi libraries which aren't useful to us right now.
