I'd like to ask the unblocking of base-files (hopefully the only one
before the unblocking for the final /etc/debian_version and friends).
There is a fix that I would particularly like to see in jessie which
is the one for Bug#763405 regarding /mnt. The patch fixing this is
very small and as clean as it can be, but I had the bad luck of
fixing this bug at approximately the same date as Guillem was doing
deep changes in dpkg.
The changes in dpkg triggered a bug in the wheezy version of
debootstrap, but I was told that it was base-files who triggered the
bug, so I tried to help by making additional minor changes.
In the end, none of the minor changes helped anything at all because the
changes to fix the /mnt bug had anything to do with the debootstrap
bug, but as the changes are otherwise harmless, there is not really a
need to undo them.
[ You will notice that there are more changelog entries than actual
changed lines ].
Debdiff follows. Thanks.

+A. Yes. The release managers asked me not to touch /etc/issue, as that's
