dpkg 1.16.0.3ubuntu5 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.16.0.3ubuntu5) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Cherry pick b8d4668 and 967a45f from pu/multiarch so that cross-grading a
    package doesn't result in dpkg believing the package has been disappeared
    on the next call.  Thanks to Raphaël Hertzog <email address hidden> for
    the quick fix!  (LP: #863675)

dpkg-dev: Debian package development tools

 This package provides the development tools (including dpkg-source)

dselect: Debian package management front-end

 dselect is a high-level interface for managing the installation and
 removal of Debian software packages.

 Many users find dselect intimidating and new users may prefer to use
 apt-based user interfaces.

libdpkg-dev: Debian package management static library

 This package provides the header files and static library necessary to
 develop software using libdpkg, the same library used internally by dpkg.

 Note though, that the API is to be considered volatile, and might change
 at any time, use at your own risk.
