+collectd (4.8.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * New upstream release.
+  * Split the "collectd" binary package into "collectd-core" and "collectd".
+    The former provides the main program file and the plugins while the latter
+    provides the configuration. This allows for much more flexible setups
+    (e.g. providing customizations on top of "collectd-core" without modifying
+    the "collectd" package) and, amongst others, removes the hard dependency
+    on librrd (Closes: #495936, #544311).
+  * debian/collectd-core.collectd.init.d:
+    - Do not (try to) start collectd if the config file does not exist. Else,
+      installation of "collectd-core" (which does not provide configuration)
+      would fail.
+  * debian/collectd.postinst:
+    - Let the "collectd" package restart the daemon, since it provides the
+      config file.
+  * debian/collectd.links:
+    - Symlink /u/s/d/collectd/examples to /u/s/d/collectd-core/examples.
+  * debian/control:
+    - Build-depend on the right combination of libsnmp-dev and perl. Perl's
+      CFLAGS (included in net-snmp's CFLAGS) introduced '-fstack-protector' in
+      version 5.10.1 on some architectures (those supporting that features).
+      net-snmp has been fixed to handle that correctly in 5.4.2.1~dfsg-4;
+      thanks to Lamont Jones and Dann Frazier for reporting this
+      (Closes: #559087).
+    - Build-depend on libsensors4-dev rather than libsensors-dev. libsnmp-dev,
+      starting with version 5.4.2.1~dfsg-5, supports libsensors4, thus making
+      that possible. This restores the full functionality of the "sensors"
+      plugin, which does not work well with libsensors3 and lm-sensors-3;
+      thanks to Anssi Kolehmainen for reporting this (Closes: #538795).
+    - Build-depend on libltdl-dev to make it possible to use the system-wide
+      libltdl.
+    - No longer conflict/provide/replace the pre-Lenny "collectd-$plugin"
+      packages.
+  * debian/patches:
+    - Removed gmond-fix-compile-error.dpatch -- included upstream.
+  * debian/rules:
+    - Pass --without-included-ltdl to configure to tell libtool 2 to not use
+      the shipped libltdl but rather the one available in the system.
+    - Pass --disable-static to configure to tell libtool 2 to not build any
+      static libraries.
+    - Install debian/collectd.conf as an example into "collectd-core".
+    - Output the content of config.log if configure fails -- this might help
+      debugging.
+  * debian/README.Debian:
+    - Added a short explanation of the package split.
