3 * Man page typo. Closes: #545443
4 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
5 (It was only run once due to logging.)
6 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
7 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
8 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
9 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
10 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
11 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
12 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
13 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
14 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev
15 is installed for the first package. Closes: #546337

33 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
34 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
35 flag with arch all/any packages.
36 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
37 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
38 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
39 situation. Closes: #540794

194 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
195 contributed by Modestas Vainius
196 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
197 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
198 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
199 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
200 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
201 that support it. Closes: #480577
202 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
203 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
204 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
206 - Adds support for cmake.
207 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
208 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
210 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
212 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
213 that use them. The options are:
214 --sourcedir, --destdir
215 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
216 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
217 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
218 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
219 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

284 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
285 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
286 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
287 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
288 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
289 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
290 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

528 * dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
529 for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.

532 eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
534 * Remove rules.simple example, there's little need to use explicit targets
536 * dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B,
537 which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit
538 rules (see bug #509756).

579 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the

581 debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any

618 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
619 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
620 while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default

674 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
675 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
676 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
677 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
678 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
679 logging by dh_listpackages.

720 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

726 recommended default, especially when using dh.
727 * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
728 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

1030 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1031 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1033 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1034 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1035 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1036 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1037 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1038 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1039 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
1040 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
1041 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
1042 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
1043 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

1049 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
1050 package install. Closes: #415717
1051 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1052 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1053 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1054 script and then remove the python files.
1055 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1056 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1057 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1058 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1059 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1060 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1061 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1062 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1063 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1064 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
1065 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
1066 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
1067 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

1087 * dh_installdocs: In v5 mode, now ignore empty files even if they're hidden
1088 away inside a subdirectory. The code missed this before. See #200905
1089 * dh_installudev: Support debian/udev files. Closes: #381854
1090 * dh_installudev: Treat --priority value as a string so that leading zeros
1091 can be used (also so that a leading "z" that is not "z60" can be

1159 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
1160 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150

1183 * Non-maintainer upload.
1184 * Update of dh_python
1185 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1186 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1187 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1188 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1189 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1190 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1191 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1192 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1193 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1194 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1196 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1197 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1198 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1199 the not too-distant future).
1200 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1201 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1202 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1203 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

2900 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2901 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2902 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2903 dh_install, which ...
2904 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2905 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2906 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2907 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2908 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2909 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2910 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2911 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2912 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2913 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2914 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2915 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2916 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2917 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2918 other minor changes.
2919 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2920 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2921 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2922 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2923 course there's -X ..)
2924 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2925 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2926 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2928 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2929 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2930 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2931 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2932 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2977 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2979 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2980 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3007 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3009 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3010 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
3011 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3012 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3013 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3014 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3015 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3016 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3017 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3018 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3019 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3020 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3021 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3022 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3023 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3024 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3026 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3061 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3062 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3063 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3064 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3065 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3066 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3067 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3068 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3249 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3250 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3251 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some

3253 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3254 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3255 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3281 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3282 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3283 program those options go to. So, for example,
3284 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3506 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3507 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3508 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3510 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3511 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3512 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3513 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3514 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3515 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3516 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3517 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3518 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3520 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3521 variable names, pod man pages).
3522 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3523 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3524 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3525 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3526 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3527 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3528 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3601 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3694 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3695 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3696 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3697 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3699 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3700 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3701 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3703 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

3706 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3707 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3708 should now be raised to severity important..

3944 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3945 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3946 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3947 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3948 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3949 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3950 notice until v2 is complete.
3951 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3952 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3953 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3954 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3955 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3956 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

4081 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
4082 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4083 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4085 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4086 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4087 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4088 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4089 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4090 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

4170 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4171 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4172 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4173 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4174 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4175 bits until all files have been registered.

4184 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4185 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4186 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4187 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4188 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4189 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4190 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4191 otherwise change the result at all.
4193 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4194 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4195 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4216 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to

4313 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4314 I made some changes, though:
4315 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4316 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4317 that is a clear violation of policy.
4318 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4319 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4320 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4321 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4322 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4323 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4324 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4325 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4326 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4328 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4372 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4373 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4374 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4496 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4497 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4498 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4499 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4500 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4501 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4502 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4503 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4516 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4517 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4518 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4521 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5524 * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/
5526 * Added code to debian/rules to update the web page when I release new
5528 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
5529 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5530 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5531 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
5532 the program to not fail. (#26214)

5559 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
5561 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5562 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5563 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5564 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5565 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5566 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5568 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5569 remove debian/files properly.
5570 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5571 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5572 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5573 * Removed bogus menu file.

5587 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
5588 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
5589 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5590 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5591 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
5592 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

5617 * dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
5619 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
5620 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
5621 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5622 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
5623 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
5624 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

5630 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
5631 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
5632 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5633 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5634 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5635 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5636 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5637 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5638 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5639 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5640 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5641 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5642 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5643 passed any switches.
5644 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

5651 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
5652 at all for a long while.
5653 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
5654 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
5655 large chunks in the process.
5656 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5657 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5676 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
5677 that don't always have the same files in them.

5679 additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.

5690 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
5691 updating 27 man pages.
5692 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
5693 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
5694 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

5822 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5823 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5824 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5825 past week. Thanks, guys!
5827 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5828 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5829 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5830 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5831 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5832 would do in the same situation.
5833 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5834 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5836 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5838 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5839 permissions changed.
5840 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5841 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5842 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5843 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5844 files are treated identically.
5845 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5846 * Minor man page fixes.
5847 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5856 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5857 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5858 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5859 use -X multiple times, too.
5860 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5861 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5887 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6134 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6135 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6136 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6137 are supported. (#16935)

6155 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6156 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6157 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6158 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

6163 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6165 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6166 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6170 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6171 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6172 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6173 a given package, or -i or -a.
6174 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6175 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6176 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6177 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6178 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6179 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6180 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6181 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6182 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6184 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6185 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

6209 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6258 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6259 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6260 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6261 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
