Title:
  Please sync package libofx 0.9.4-1 (universe) from debian unstable
  (main)

Status in “libofx” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The new upstream release has been packaged in debian. This represents
  a significant overhaul of the packaging scripts; near as I can tell,
  all of the ubuntu improvements in the current version are implemented
  (alebit in a different manner). Previous ubuntu changes:

  0.9.0-3ubuntu1:
  +   + debian/control:
  +    - change build-depends from libcurl3-gnutls-dev to libcurl4-gnutls-dev
  +    - update standards-version

  These changes have been made in the debian version.

  +libofx (1:0.9.0-3ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low
  +
  +  * No-change rebuild to drop dependency on libkrb53

  N/A

  +  * debian/applied-patches/libofx-utf8-rev1.patch:
  +    + Patch by Yasuaki Taniguchi to better handle UTF-8 in OFX files.
  +      (LP: #629996)

  Reverted in ubuntu; the bug has been fixed upstream.

  +  * New upstream release.  Since 0.9.4, all changes were bugfixes and
  +    changes requested by packagers
  +    - Fixes "libofx crashes on OFX import in gnucash" (LP: #661809)
  +    - Fixes bad regression from previous patch for 629996 that truncated
  +      all strings after the first non-ascii character (LP: #769554)

  N/A

  +  * Fix various lintian reported problems

  Debian libofx 0.9.4-1 has no lintian issues of greater than 'info'
  severity (only no-symbols-control-file)

  +  * Remove previous patch for 629996 which causes regressions.  
  +    A better patch was integrated upstream.

  N/A

  +  * Install the man pages for ofxdump and ofxconnect (LP: #771233)

  Fixed in debian. A manpage for ofx2qif has also been added.

  New changelog entries in debian:

  libofx (1:0.9.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

    * Set myself as maintainer, with blessing of previous maintainer Thomas
      Bushnell on debian-mentors and gnucash maintainer Micha Lenk in private
      mail.
    * New upstream release (Closes: #549161, #551057, #465281; also closes ubuntu
      LP: #629996)
    * The DTD installation path has changed to /usr/share/libotx4/libotx/dtd, to
      simplify the build scripts. (This allows the path to be passed in once, at
      configure time as --datadir, rather than every time make is invoked)
    * Remove obsolete debian patches
    * Switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format
    * debian/control updates:
      * Change libxml dependency to libxml++2.6-dev (Closes: #467364)
      * Build using libcurl4-gnutls-dev (Closes: #487255)
      * Add new help2man dependency for manpage generation
      * Add ${misc:Depends} entries to binary dependencies (lintian fix)
      * Add versioned dependency on debhelper >= 7.0.50, for autosequencer
        support
      * Update to Standard-Version: 3.9.2.0 (added Homepage: field to
        debian/control)
      * Unversion ofx's conflict with libofx2; it's been long enough that only
        libofx4 should be in the wild.
      * Update libofx-dev description
      * Add build-depends on the autotools suite, as one of our debian patches
        modifies Makefile.am files
    * Split documentation into a new libofx-doc package, to reduce the size of
      libofx-dev.
    * debian/control, debian/libofx-doc.links: Symlink the jquery.js file from
      libjs-jquery instead of shipping a new copy
    * Add debian/watch file
    * debian/rules:
      * Back up generated files during the build, in order to minimize noise in
        debdiffs. In order to ensure these files are regenerated, debian/rules
        will delete the upstream-supplied versions after the backup.
      * Regenerate libtoolize/aclocal/automake/autoheader/autoconf generated
        files. This is required for the
        0001-Suppress-help2man-info-page-reference patch
      * Use the copy of libcurl.m4 in aclocal; this suppresses an autoconf
        warning
    * Use the dh autosequencer to perform the build.
      * debian/rules: Use dh(1) for most actions.
      * debian/libofx4.install, debian/libofx-dev.install, debian/ofx.install:
        Add install files so we can use dh_install rather than manual
        dh_movefiles invocations
      * debian/libofx-dev.docs: Install HTML docs and sample files via
        dh_installdocs
      * debian/dirs: Removed as unnecessary
      * debian/compat: Update debhelper compatibility level to 7, now that
        we're using the autosequencer
    * New patches:
      * 0001-Suppress-help2man-info-page-reference.patch:
        Suppress reference to nonexistent info page in generated manpages
      * 0002-Fix-formatting-of-ofxdump-usage-message-so-help2man-.patch:
        Fix leading spaces in ofxdump --help output confusing help2man and
        breaking the ofxdump(1) manpage
      * 0003-Fix-autoconf-warning-due-to-bad-libtool-invoca.patch:
        Fix bad invocation of libtool in configure.in breaking the build with
        autoconf >= 2.68
      * 0004-Reference-the-m4-directory-for-macro-files.patch:
        Add references to the m4 directory in configure.in and Makefile.am so
        libtoolize can do its magic
      * 0005-Improve-manpage-whatis-entries.patch: Replace the generic
        'libofx - manual page for libofx 0.9.4' whatis entries in the ofxdump(1)
        and ofxconnect(1) manpages with something more descriptive
      * 0006-Fix-typo-in-lib-file_preproc.cpp.patch: Fix typo ('sucessfully') in
        error message
    * debian/copyright: Specifically reference GPL-2 rather than GPL in
      common-licenses (lintian fix)
    * debian/libofx-dev.doc-base: Add doc-base registration for libofx-dev HTML
      reference docs
    * debian/ofx2qif.pod: Add manual page for ofx2qif.
    * debian/rules: Add build-dep for perl for pod2man (used for ofx2qif manpage
      generation)
