* [BREAK] add possibility to download and use multiply
Translation files, configurable with Acquire::Translation (Closes: #444222, #448216, #550564) * Ignore :qualifiers after package name in build dependencies for now as long we don't understand them (Closes: #558103) * apt-pkg/contrib/mmap.{cc,h}: - extend it to have a growable flag - unused now but maybe... * apt-pkg/pkgcache.h: - use long instead of short for {Ver,Desc}File size, patch from Víctor Manuel Jáquez Leal, thanks! (Closes: #538917) * apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc: - allow also to skip the last patch if target is reached, thanks Bernhard R. Link! (Closes: #545699) * ftparchive/writer.{cc,h}: - add APT::FTPArchive::AlwaysStat to disable the too aggressive caching if versions are build multiply times (not recommend) Patch by Christoph Goehre, thanks! (Closes: #463260)

+ <listitem><para>The Languages subsection controls which <filename>Translation</filename> files are downloaded

+ files for every Language - especially the long Languagecodes are rare, so please

+ It will be replaced at runtime with the languagecodes extracted from the <literal>LC_MESSAGES</literal> environment variable.
+ It will also ensure that these codes are not included twice in the list. If <literal>LC_MESSAGES</literal>
+ is set to "C" only the <filename>Translation-en</filename> file (if available) will be used.
+ To force apt to use no Translation file use the setting <literal>Acquire::Languages=none</literal>. "<literal>none</literal>"
+ is another special meaning code which will stop the search for a fitting <filename>Translation</filename> file.
+ This can be used by the system administrator to let APT know that it should download also this files without
+ actually use them if the environment doesn't specify this languages. So the following example configuration will
+ result in the order "en, de" in an english and in "de, en" in a german localization. Note that "fr" is downloaded,
+ but not used if APT is not used in a french localization, in such an environment the order would be "fr, de, en".
