  * New upstream release.
  * Acknowledge NMU. (Closes: #281809)
  * Makefile: Don't hack Makefile; use rules instead.
  * debian/rules: Set on make invocations: prefix, htmldir, TEXI2HTML.
  * debian/rules (clean): Clean more stuff here.
  * Makefile: Comment out old rule for $(htmldir)slib_toc.html.  Instead,
    specify directly that the texi2html invocation produces that file.

  * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Go back to using scm.

-In order for FORMAT to call itself for FORMAT error messages, the

-FORMAT also lacks directives for formatting date and time.  printf
-does not handle these directly, but a related function strftime does.

 []	Why doesn't SLIB:ERROR call FORMAT?
 
 Format does not provide a method to truncate fields.  When an error
 message contains non-terminating or large expressions, the essential
 information of the message may be lost in the ensuing deluge.
 
-FORMAT as currently written in SLIB is not reentrant.  Until this is
