     directly in the source code.
      o Dropped source code cosmetics in configure.in and Makefile.am
      o Dropped moving .py files into /usr/lib. These files and also the
        .pyc files generated from them are distribution-independent.
      o 85_rebuild_python_ui.dpatch: Moved changes for compiling .ui files
        to .py files into a dpatch
      o 87_move_documentation.dpatch: Moved changes for moving the
        documentation into a dpatch
      o debian/rules: Set documentation directory by the "./configure"
        command line.

     82_scrolltool_py_deskjet_d4100_claen_device_not_found.dpatch,
     84_align10form_py_deskjet_5440_head_align.dpatch, merged upstream.
   * 70_no_fail_on_bad_locales.dpatch: Rediff.
   * debian/rules: Updated command line options for ./configure, make
     debian/autogen.sh being called when Makefile.am and/or configure.in
     were patched.
   * debian/rules, debian/hplip-data.links: Do not put .py and .pyc files
     into /usr/lib/hplip any more. There are REALLY plattform-independent.
   * debian/control, debian/rules, debian/hplip-data.install,
     debian/hplip-firmware.install: Created new package for the firmware files
     for the HP LaserJet 1018 and 1020.
   * debian/hplip.preinst: Shut down the daemons of the old 1.x.x generation
     HPLIP and kill hpiod if the shut down did not work.
   * debian/*.desktop: Show the icons in the menus of Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu,
     as we get a decent error dialog if PyQt is not installed.
