31 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
32 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
33 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
34 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
35 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.
36 * debhelper.1: Explicitly document that docs describe latest compat
37 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the
38 "Debhelper compatibility levels" section of debhelper.1. Closes: #336906

1358 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1359 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1360 dh_install, which ...
1361 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1362 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1363 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1364 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1365 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1366 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1367 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1368 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1369 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1370 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1371 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1372 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1373 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1374 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1375 other minor changes.
1376 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1377 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1378 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1379 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1380 course there's -X ..)
1381 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1382 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1385 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1386 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1387 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into

1464 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1466 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1467 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1468 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1469 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1470 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1471 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1472 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1473 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1474 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1475 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1476 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1477 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1478 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1479 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1480 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1481 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1483 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1519 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1520 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1521 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1522 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1523 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1524 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1525 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1526 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1702 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1703 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1704 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1705 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1706 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1707 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1708 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1709 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1710 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1711 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1712 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1713 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1714 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1734 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1735 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1736 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1737 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1738 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1739 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1740 program those options go to. So, for example,
1741 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1742 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1743 something complex. Closes: #89311

1884 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1885 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1886 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1887 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1888 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1889 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1890 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1944 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1946 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1947 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1948 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1949 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1950 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1951 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1952 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1953 but is mildly deprecated.
1954 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1955 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1956 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1957 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1958 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1959 switching to statoverrides..
1960 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1961 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1962 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1963 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1964 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1965 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1967 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1968 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1969 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1970 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1971 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1972 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1973 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1974 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1975 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1977 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1978 variable names, pod man pages).
1979 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1980 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1981 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1982 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1983 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1984 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1985 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2054 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2055 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2056 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2057 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2058 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2059 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2060 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2061 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2062 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2063 it is an obsolete program.

2148 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2149 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2150 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2151 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2152 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2153 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2154 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2156 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2157 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2158 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2160 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2162 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2163 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2164 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2165 should now be raised to severity important..
2166 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2167 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2208 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2209 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2401 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2402 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2403 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2404 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2405 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2406 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2407 notice until v2 is complete.
2408 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2409 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2410 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2411 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2412 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2413 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2415 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2416 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

2545 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2546 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2547 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
2548 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

2628 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2629 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2630 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2631 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2632 bits until all files have been registered.

2642 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2643 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2644 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2645 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2646 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2647 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2648 otherwise change the result at all.
2650 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2651 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2652 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2670 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2671 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2673 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2674 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2675 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2676 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2770 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2771 I made some changes, though:
2772 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2773 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2774 that is a clear violation of policy.
2775 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2776 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2777 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2778 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2779 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2780 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2781 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2782 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2783 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2785 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2827 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2828 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2829 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2830 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2831 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2949 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2950 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2951 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2952 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2953 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2954 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2955 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2956 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2957 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2958 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2959 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2960 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2970 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

2975 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3077 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

3134 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3281 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3282 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3283 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3298 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3299 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3696 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3697 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3698 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3699 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

3702 suidregister actually supports it.

3720 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

3911 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3912 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3913 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4047 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4048 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4049 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4078 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4079 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4090 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4091 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4092 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4093 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4094 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4095 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4096 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4097 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4098 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4112 large chunks in the process.

4281 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4282 past week. Thanks, guys!
4284 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4285 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4286 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4287 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4288 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4289 would do in the same situation.
4290 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4291 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4293 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4295 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4296 permissions changed.
4297 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4298 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4299 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4300 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4301 files are treated identically.
4302 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4315 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4316 use -X multiple times, too.
4317 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

4540 debhelper (0.59) unstable; urgency=low
4542 * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without
4543 actually doing anything. (Combine with -v to see what the command would
4544 have done.) (#17598)

4560 debhelper (0.56) unstable; urgency=low

4563 to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.

4567 debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low
4569 * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077
4570 * Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion,
4571 to some of the sample rules files. #17076

4575 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low
4577 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
4578 argument processor in perl.
4579 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
4580 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
4581 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
4582 * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).

4588 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
4589 type directories. (#16933)
4590 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
4591 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4592 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4593 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4594 are supported. (#16935)
4595 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

4600 debhelper (0.52) unstable; urgency=low
4602 * dh_compress: compress file belongs in debian/. It was looking in ./
4603 This has been broken since version 0.30.

4607 debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low
4609 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
4611 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
4612 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4613 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4614 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4615 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
4616 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.
4618 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:15:01 -0500
4620 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4622 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4623 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4624 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4626 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4627 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4628 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4629 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4630 a given package, or -i or -a.
4631 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4632 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4633 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4634 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4635 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4636 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4637 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4638 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4639 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4641 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4642 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
4643 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

4649 * dh_du: Fixed hardcoded debian/tmp.

4651 slowdown caused by using dpkg-parsechangelog - now it's only called by

4658 * dh_undocumented: exit with an error message if the man page specified
4659 does not have a section.

4663 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
4665 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4666 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4667 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
4668 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

4678 debhelper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
4680 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
4681 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
4682 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
4683 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
4684 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789
4685 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files,

4690 debhelper (0.32) unstable; urgency=low
4692 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
4693 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
4694 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
4695 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

4712 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
4714 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4715 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4716 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4717 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4718 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4719 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4720 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4739 * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498
4740 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
4741 the dh_* programs (#15497).
4742 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

4762 of fileutils, install -p will not work (#14680)

4769 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

4779 debhelper (0.20) unstable; urgency=low

4792 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
4794 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
4795 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4796 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4797 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4798 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4799 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4806 compatability with debstd's debian/dirs file.

4850 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4851 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4852 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4853 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4854 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4858 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4860 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4861 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4862 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4863 multiple binary packages.
4864 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4865 should rebuild them with this version.
4866 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4884 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4886 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4887 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4888 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4889 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4890 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4891 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4892 debian/README.debian.
4893 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4894 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4895 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4896 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4897 in a few situations.)

4928 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4930 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4931 is ready for general use.
4932 * Added man pages for all commands.
4933 * Multiple binary package support.
4934 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4935 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4936 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4938 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4939 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4940 auto-installed as parameters.
4941 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4943 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4946 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4947 the package build directory it is to act on.
4948 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4949 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4950 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
