  - fix escape problem when looking for the mounted devices
* apt-pkg/contrib/strutl.{h,cc}, test/libapt/strutil_test.cc:

  - fix missing download progress in apt-get download
  - do not require unused partial dirs in 'source' (Closes: #633510)
  - buildconflicts effect all architectures
  - implement MultiarchCross for build-dep and source (Closes: #632221)
* cmdline/apt-key:

* debian/apt.postinst:

  - emit an error on unknown APT::Default-Release value (Closes: #407511)
* apt-pkg/aptconfiguration.cc:
  - ensure that native architecture is if not specified otherwise the
    first architecture in the Architectures vector
* apt-pkg/deb/deblistparser.cc:
  - Strip only :any and :native if MultiArch should be stripped as it is
    save to ignore them in non-MultiArch contexts but if the dependency
    is a specific architecture (and not the native) do not strip
