   * Add a --purge option to ucf, to remove all hints about a configuration
file from the hashfile. This fixes what happened if a package was
purged, and reinstalled -- on purge the configuration file was
removed, but it was still in ucf's database. On reinstall, since the
upstream file had not changed, ucf did not copy it to the destination
-- even though the destination file no longer existed. This is a major
bugfix.                                                  closes: Bug#159015
* Fix use of md5sum files, and manpage typo, thanks to a patch from
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org>.            closes: Bug#163229
* ucf now has a rudimentary, experimental, and undocumented diff3
capability. So, optionally, people can see a diff3 diff between the
current file, the old file, and the new upstream version. Also, they
can have the changes made in the upstream versions merged into the
current file. This can be dangerous.
