Bug#852434: cowdancer 0.84 MIGRATED to testing

Ah, okay. (My mailserver does not reject properly sent messages
after passing greylisting, except for servers on a blacklist,
which the ones you use aren’t on.)

This works, yes. Thank you.

If for no other reason, then for, that cowbuilder is invoked by
other tools, and such a breaking change ought to not be uploaded
less than two weeks before the hard freeze.

The manpage of 0.83 says so:

       --build .dsc-file

This is not very helpful. Do I reorder --build first, or the
entirety of --build .dsc-file – after all, --build was always
documented as requiring an argument (and has option format!),
yet your changelog entry says something about parsing it now
separately, which WILL break existing users.

Stéphane, I actually don’t block Googlemail, they’re just too utterly
stupid to successfully deliver to me (or anyone else using Greylisting
and not whitelisting their ranges). Same for a few other providers such
as Hotmail. Some spammers (Yahoo) I do block.
