Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.16.8
Severity: normal

When packaging from VCS with 3.0 (quilt) and single-debian-patch,
the debian/patches/debian-changes file generated has its entries
in random order (instead of normalised by ASCIIbetically sorting
the pathnames of the files containing diffs before concatenating
them into the debian-changes file), thus introducing random noise
into debdiffs betwen different versions of a package built from
the same CVS module.

Please fix this, as it eases code review. (I really hate unsorted
lists, anyway.)


Hm, while at it… tr '\n' ' ' in the "Foreign Architectures:" field…
maybe I’m the only one who’s got two of them? But I see it now,
below. But that’s cosmetic.
