* Team upload.
* Disable BYHAND processing to allow migration to testing.
The package needs a binary upload for BYHAND processing,
but this disables the migration to testing, because
a source-only upload is required. Therefore, this is
an upload with only the BYHAND rules removed, no other
changes have been made. The content is therefore
identical to the documents available from the archive
mirrors.

Add pointers to relevant 2014 CTTE decisions (The systemd debate).
Rename section "booting": "Every distribution seems to have a different
boot-up method. Tell me about Debian's." to "sysvinit": "And how about
Debian and traditional System V init". Drop section "custombootscripts":
"What other facilities are provided to customize the boot process besides
rc.local?": it is relevant for System V init only and therefore does not

booting a Debian system?" mentioning e.g. openrc. (Closes: #787152)

to deal with these multiple packages: we now build-depend upon debhelper.
When at it, use dh_installdeb, dh_gencontrol, dh_md5sums and dh_builddeb
too.
- debian/{rules,control}: install de, fr, it and zh_CN translations too.
- debian/compat: enforce debhelper compatibility level 5.
- debian/rules: build needed languages (de, fr, it and zh_CN) only.
- debian/debian-faq-{de,fr,it,zh-cn}.{dirs,install}: add debhelper files
for building extra binary packages.
- debian/rules: use debhelper's dh_installchangelog, dh_installdocs and
dh_compress to handle debian/{copyright,changelog} and doc-base stuff.
add needed dh_clean calls.
- debian/rules: replace handcrafted chmod/chown call with dh_fixperms.
- debian/debian-faq*.doc-base, debian/debian-faq*.{prerm,postrm}: add
doc-base registrations for all packages, let debhelper deal with them.
