      for files in other subdirectories of /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/.
    + Only report queue files older than 5 minutes.
  * debian/control Vcs-* headers: Move from git.debian.org to
    anonscm.debian.org (Fixes lintian warnings vcs-field-not-canonical)
  * More hobbit → xymon renaming fixups:
    + conn6, tftp: bbhostgrep → xymongrep
  * Fix wrong method name in Hobbit.pm documentation.
  * Some reindenting and untabifying of Perl code.

  * apt: Overhaul "last apt update" determining
    + Split up the list of update stamp files into two groups to reduce
      the amount of "Last apt update" false positives:
      - Files where each file indicates a successful update, just not
        necessarily the newest one. Check all of them and use the newest
        of them. (Closes: #605687)
      - Files which are less exact indicators. Check them in order and
        just use the first one found as before.
    + Check mtime of /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin, /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
      and /var/lib/apt/lists before checking the mtime of
      /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. (Closes: #526894)
    + Add patch by Emil Larsson for not-in-repo package whitelist
      (/etc/hobbit/apt_alien_accepts) as well as a rejected packages
      blacklist (/etc/hobbit/apt_rejects). (Closes: #487331)
  * ircbot: Forward-port nick-highlighting patch by Christian Herzog from
    ISG D-PHYS, ETH Zurich (Closes: #524016)
  * ircbot: Optionally use privmsg instead of notice for green and clear
    messages (set IRC_GREEN_PRIVMSG to 1)
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1 (no changes)
  * Switch to source format "3.0 (native)"
