Import Debian changes 3a2-1debian/3a2-1
slib (3a2-1) unstable; urgency=low
* 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/rules (binary-indep): Find web files in slib subdir.
* debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Go back to using scm.
