* debian/ patches/ 020111114- 4258227- lzw-encode- filter- fix.patch: In the LZW patches/ 029111114- 08dc129- ps2write- truetype- fix.patch: Improved
encoder filter increment the code size before writing out EOD when the
last code reaches the current limit code. Fix incorrect bytes or decoding
errors at the end of some LZW-encoded streams. Fixes problems of
ps2write producing PostScript output with spurious extra bytes

* debian/
the TrueType composite glyph handling of the "ps2write" output device.
This way PDF output of LibreOffice gets correctly converted to PostScript
for PostScript printers and PostScript-based drivers (LP: #879977, upstream
bug #879977).
