  * apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
    - fix uninitialized variable that caused no apport reports
      to be written sometimes (thanks to Matt Zimmerman)
  * merge patch that enforces stricter https server certificate
    checking (thanks to Arnaud Ebalard, closes: #485960)
  * allow per-mirror specific https settings

  * add doc/examples/apt-https-method-example.cof
    (thanks to Arnaud Ebalard, closes: #485964)
  * add DPkg::NoTriggers option so that applications that call

    (thanks to Joey Hess)
  * document --install-recommends and --no-install-recommends
    (thanks to Dereck Wonnacott, LP: #126180)
