whatis references are from a section with higher priority (closes:
#780235).
- Add section "3type" to the default section list just after "2". This
is used by the Linux man-pages package.

long-standing bugs that it doesn't always do so (closes: #209185).

man-db (2.10.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Simplify some debhelper overrides slightly.
* debian/upstream/metadata: Update for upstream move to GitLab.
* Add section 0 to default search list (closes: #1004248).
* New upstream release:
- Document MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP and PIPELINE_DEBUG environment variables
in man(1) (closes: #941622).
- Add man-pages(7) reference to man(1) (closes: #974174).
- lexgrog now produces output in the user's locale (closes: #970482).
- Downgrade "malformed .lf request" warning to a debug message and
rephrase it somewhat, since .lf requests can use *roff arithmetic
expressions and we can't reasonably parse those (closes: #998426).
- Significantly improve mandb(8) and "man -K" performance in the common
case where pages are of moderate size and compressed using zlib
(closes: #630799, #1003089; LP: #1858777).
- Avoid modifying the database without changing its mtime, which had
been possible since 2.7.0 if mandb's purge phase found work to do but
the main phase didn't, and which confused some backup systems into
reporting possible filesystem corruption (closes: #1004355,
LP: #1411633).
- mandb now stores the mtime of link targets as the mtime of their
corresponding database entries, rather than sometimes storing the
mtime of the link instead (closes: #691643).

man-db (2.8.7-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Stop trying to get dh_installman to use the just-built version of man.

* Add a debian/upstream/metadata file.
* Re-export debian/upstream/signing-key.asc without extra signatures.
* Override shlib-calls-exit Lintian tag for libman-*.so, since this is
intentional and OK.
