* doc/makefile:
- create doxygen directory to avoid depending on magic (Closes: #628799) * cmdline/apt-key: - explicitly state that net-update is not supported if no url is set - require to be root for add, rm, update and net-update - clarify update vs. net-update in different distros (Closes: #632043) * debian/apt.symbols: - forgot 'mips' in the list for all architecture dependent symbols - comment out gcc-4.5 specific symbols as gcc-4.6 is now default - the symbol for PrintStatus() is architecture dependent * apt-pkg/policy.cc: - do not segfault in pinning if a package with this name doesn't exist. Thanks to Ferdinand Thommes for the report! - Defaults is a vector of Pin not of PkgPin - ensure that only the first specific stanza for a package is used - save all stanzas which had no effect in Unmatched - allow package:architecure in Package:
