dh-elpa (1.10) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Sean Whitton ]
  * Add dh-elpa-Version: field to binary package control files.
    This tracks the dh-elpa version used to build the package, to make it
    possible to find packages that need rebuilding against newer dh-elpa.

  [ David Bremner ]
  * Treat 'emacs' as a first class flavour, anticipating Debian emacs
    packages using that in place of 'emacsNN'.
  * Fix reporting of ignored flavors on removal (cosmetic change).
  * Replace '2' in generated emacsen-common compat file

[dgit import package dh-elpa 1.10]

+* Intro
+
+This is a work-in progress project to generate Debian packages of
+Emacs Lisp extensions that integrate with the built in (since GNU
+Emacs 24.1) package system package.el. This means that debian packages
+built with this tool will show up in M-x list-packages, and that user
+installs of more up to date packages will override them (for that
+user!). Perhaps the most important improvement is that no file
+/etc/emacs/site-start.d is needed for such a package.
+
+* Limitations
+
+- This tool is currently not very well tested.
+
+- Currently all of the emacs lisp files are installed into one
+  directory; this might break packages that do fancier things with
+  load-path.
+
+- package.el gets confused if you have both a system and a user elpa
+  package and refuses to delete the user one unless you delete the
+  system one first.
