Changelog
poke (5.0+dfsg-1~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * d/u/signing-key.asc: Concatenate.
   * d/watch: Convert to version 5.  Pull from git.
   * New upstream version 5.0+dfsg
   * d/p/0001-Disable-building-docs-for-jitter.patch:
     Refresh.
   * Reflect upstream SONAME bump changes.
     - d/control: Rename libpoke1 to libpoke2.
     - d/libpoke1.*: Rename to d/libpoke2.*.
     - d/libpoke2.symbols: Add new symbol.
   * d/control: Bump to debhelper-compat 14.
     Add new B-Ds due to build changes caused by how we obtain upstream
     sources (git clone vs. tarball).  New B-Ds: bison, flex, gawk, git,
     texinfo.
     Also, run wrap-and-sort.
   * d/libpoke-dev.install: Install .a file as well.
   * d/poke.info: Install new pokeint.info documentation.
   * d/rules: Update autoreconf step to bootstrap sources.
     Also, don't remove the .a and the pk-* files as they are now shipped.
   * d/poke.examples: Install the pk-* binaries as examples.
   * d/vim-poke.install: Reformat (wrap-and-sort).
   * d/control: Remove redundant Priority field.
   * d/control: Remove redundant Rules-Requires-Root field.
   * d/control: Bump standards-Version to 4.7.4; no changes needed.
   * d/control: B-D on gnulib.
   * d/rules: Convert to using Debian-packaged gnulib.
   * d/u/signing-key.asc: Remove.
     The key is not used anymore as we're now cloning the source directly
     from git.
   * d/copyright: Remove unnecessary stanzas.
