dependency. Thanks, Axel Beckert. (Closes: #583777)

clearer about the requirement for a versioned dependency for
versioned scripts and to mention ${python:Depends}, created by the

+ [RA] Add runhaskell and runghc. (Closes: #589266)

error caused by a non-existent file referenced in a .changes
file. (Closes: #583555, again)
.
* private/refresh-insserv-data:
+ [RG] Hardcode the '$all' virtual facility.
.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [RA] Stop attempting to report unknown tags with a fake
description. This was failing with an error later, and the tag was
probably removed from Lintian and is now erroneous.
.

tests.
