 debian-goodies (0.71) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
 
-  * debget (and therefore also debman):
-    + Support apt-transport-tor i.e. tor+http:// and tor+https:// APT
-      repository URLs. (Closes: #821156)
-    + Replace "apt-get --print-uris --reinstall install" with "apt-get
-      --print-uris download" to avoid dependency resolution before
-      printing URLs. (Closes: #733465)
+  * Make debget a lightweight wrapper around "apt-get download". Speeds up
+    script by up to factor 2. (Closes: #821156, #733465, #733471)
