Check for some unique files and directories newsx is really using instead. Thanks to Steve Langasek for the suggestion. * newsx did not escape and de-escape lines starting with a dot correctly (rfc977, 3.10.1: "...with lines starting with a period in the original text having that period doubled during transmission.") Thanks to Alfredo Amontagna for finding this bug. * Make /usr/share/doc/newsx/examples/addgroup.all work on Debian. The check for inn/inn2/cnews is not nice yet.

This package includes many patches which have not (and partially cannot) be accepted upstream, dbs is a clean solution for that, additionally this greatly simplifies the clean-target. See debian/README.patches! * I've added some touch-magic. The package is now buildable without automake/conf/header. - Therefore I've removed the build-dependency on automake. * Use DH_COMPAT=3. * use dh_installman instead of dh_installmanpages. (Build-dependency on debhelper (>= 3.0.0). * Set lockdir for inn1 to /var/run/innd in wrapper script - IMHO this is nicer than patching the source.
