My previous message mentioned that I had done a file by file
comparison of the old and new packages.  I thought I'd just mention
how I did this and what the results are.

Basically I installed existing packages on my normal machine and the
new packages in a pbuilder environment.  I diffed the sorted output of
dpkg --listfiles on each configuration for all packages to verify that
the same files were present.  Then for each file listed, I diffed the
files on the two different configurations.  The only files that had
changed were the shared library file itself, the copyright file, and
the changelog file.  The copyright file changed because I recopied
LICENSE.txt from the source and edited the Debian-specific text at the
top of the file.

Here are the diffs of the copyright file:

The typo in the control file mentioned above was that the description
for the doc package said it was development files rather than
documentation.
