This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the GNU file
management utilities.

This package is maintained by Galen Hazelwood <galenh@micron.net> and
built from sources obtained from:
  ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/fileutils-3.16.tar.gz

This package was first put together by Ian Murdock <imurdock@debian.org>,
from fileutils-3.12.  It was later maintained by Erick Branderhorst
<branderh@debian.org>.  Certain patches and bug-fixes made by the previous
maintainers have since been integrated into the upstream source.

Changes:
 * added Debian GNU/Linux package maintenance system files
 * changed ls.1 to note changes in color support (done by earlier maintainer)
 * Tweaked ls.1 description of --dereference slightly (due to user complaint)
 * Changed german translation file to accept "j" (ja) for yes
 * Changed spanish translation slightly (courtesy Santiago Vila Doncel)
 * Fixed error in install usage, added -p (preserve-timestamps) option
