dpkg-deb-avoid-fflush.patch: removed
	- the patch is included in the new version
fix-timestamps.patch: added
	- the lutimes function doesn't work properly for all systems
ignore_extra_fields.patch: adapted to the new version
nochroot.patch: removed
	- the patch is not used
noman.patch: adapted to the new version
noupdalt.patch: removed
	- the patch is not used
perllibdir.patch: removed
	- in the new version PERL_LIBDIR will be set only if empty
preinst.patch: adapted to new version

-Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 00:51:13 +0100
-Subject: [PATCH] dpkg-deb: Use fd instead of stream based buffered I/O
-
-Behaviour of fflush() on input streams is undefined per POSIX, avoid
-mixing stream and file descriptor based I/O, and only use the latter
-instead.
-
-Upstream-Status: Backport of revision 2d420ee1d05033d237462a0075facfe406b08043 (in 1.16.x)
