Package: devscripts
Version: 2.18.7
Followup-For: Bug #863118

Hello.

Since last message, most sources have been reformatted.
uscan.pl has been heavily modified, introducing a new
Devscripts::Config library similar to Devscripts::Confvar.
The attachment rebases all previous patches in this changelog,
except the one affecting uscan.pl.

Patches 1 to 15 carry various non intrusive suggestions improving
details, but not specific to Confvar.

Patch 16 lets all tools use Devscripts::Confvar, except uscan.pl.

let-uscan-use-confvar.patch contains the unrefreshed changes affecting
uscan.pl/2.18.1.

In february, the library was passing its automated testsuite, and each
tool was reporting correctly with --help.
However, the recent manual refresh may have introduced new errors.

I suggest the following steps.
* choose between Devscripts::Confvar and Devscripts::Config
* cherry-pick good ideas from the unselected implementation
* redo all testing
