   * Incorporated NMU updates by Adam DiCarlo (thanks!) (Closes Bug#41222)
   * libgc4-dev conflicts with bigloo less than 2.0e-1, since that package
     had a libgc.so symlink in it (Closes Bug#39427)
   * the bigloo maintainer and the w3m maintainer's experience seems to
     support the notion that threading even on i386 is not a good idea.  It
     might be desired later to have a threaded version of libgc provided
     somehow as well, but AFAI(Adam)CT, threading is causing problems and
     isn't necessary for any software using libgc

   * Replaces libgc4 packages with new debhelper-ized version.
   * Incorporates non-maintainer patch by Hartmut Koptein
     <koptein@et-inf.fho-emden.de> for powerpc
