 .
   [ Alexandre Detiste ]
   * drop old CDBS -> dh conversion script
 .
   [ Andreas Tille ]
   * scripts/itp_from_debian_dir: Deal with existing RFPs

   [ Charles Plessy ]
   * Use uscan templates for CRAN and Bioconductor packages.
   * dh-update-R:
     - sort debian/control fields like cme and match the
       `wrap-and-sort -ast` of libconfig-model-dpkg-perl (>= 3.01).
     - stop using `debian/compat`. Closes: #1111274
     - read debian/tests/autopkgtest-pkg-r.conf with Config::Properties.
     - read debian/tests/control with Dpkg::Control.
   * Build the `r-pkg-team-core-architecture` package on amd64, arm64,
     loong64, ppc64el and riscv64, so that we can restrict redistribution
     of most r-cran-* and all r-bioc-* packages to these architectures,
     for reasons explained in the package description.
   * Add myself to Uploaders.
