Subject: [PATCH] r394:    * Reverted the change to make debian/README be
 treated as README.Debian,      after I learned people use it for eg,
 documenting the source package      itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems
 this is not such an "incredibly      minor" change after all. Never
 underetimate the annoyance of      backwards-compatability.
