     - drop patches adopted upstream
     - new upstream maintainer and project location with signed upstream tags
     - fix updating of outdated service cache lines (Closes: #462197)

       (Closes: #282850, #515176, #559284)
       Thanks: Thomas Hooge <thomas@hoogi.de>
     - auto-size service label width by default (Closes: #500928)

     - ignore hidden symlinks (Closes: #317919) Thanks: Thomas Hood

   * fix restore action in GUI (Closes: #428300)
   * conflict with systemd instead of depending on sysvinit (Closes: #1101338)
     - sysv-rc-conf has some utility managing runlevels for init systems that
       retain initscript fallback capabilities and prior to switching inits.
     - many unintended users will have been shaken out by the dependency in
       place on bookworm and trixie: the risk of confusion is now much reduced.
   * update package description with context to evaluate suitability
   * add README.Debian with caveats as to the suitability of sysv-rc-conf
   * use autogenerated man page, retaining reproducibility
   * update S-V: no changes needed
   * convert copyright to DEP-5
   * add DEP-3 headers to patches
   * add upstream metadata
   * add salsa CI
   * add initial gbp.conf defining debian branch

  1. I couldn't see how to upload a binary package for BACKPORTS-NEW so I assume this will need a rebuild by sponsor. Please use '-v' to include all changes since 0.99-10.

  2. Ah, should I have simply uploaded the .changes rather than _source.changes to mentors for this one? (Well, obviously it's in sponsor's gift to want to do their own build but I'm also trying to confirm how it would work if I were uploading to the actual queue.)

  3. For anyone interested and for whom this isn't all obvious: I just re-uploaded with the .changes files but the contents on the mentors ftp site are absolutely identical. So it seems sponsors basically need to do exactly the same amount of work as the original contributor except create the (mechanical) changelog entry in the case of a sponsored backport!
