15 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
16 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
17 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
18 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
19 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
21 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
22 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
23 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
25 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
26 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
27 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
28 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
29 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
30 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
31 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
32 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
33 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
34 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
35 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
36 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.
37 * Remove obsolete versioned dependency on perl-base.
38 * Avoid writing debhelper log files in no-act mode. Closes: #640586

146 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur

277 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
278 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of

280 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
281 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.

288 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
289 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
290 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
291 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
292 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
293 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
294 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
295 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
296 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
297 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
298 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
299 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
300 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
301 commands. (See #570039)
302 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

727 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
728 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
729 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
730 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
731 that support it. Closes: #480577
732 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
733 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
734 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
736 - Adds support for cmake.
737 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
738 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
740 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
742 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
743 that use them. The options are:
744 --sourcedir, --destdir
745 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
746 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
747 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
748 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
749 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1018 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
1019 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
1020 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
1021 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
1023 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
1024 that uses them. Affected options are:
1025 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
1026 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
1027 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
1028 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
1029 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
1030 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
1031 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
1032 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1033 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1034 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1035 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1036 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1561 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1563 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1564 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1565 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

1582 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1583 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1584 script and then remove the python files.
1585 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1586 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1587 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1588 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1589 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1590 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963

1592 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

1594 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1718 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for

1721 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1722 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1723 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1724 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1726 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1727 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1728 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

1983 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
1984 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
1985 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
1986 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
1987 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
1988 * -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
1989 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

2108 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3430 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3431 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3432 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3433 dh_install, which ...
3434 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3435 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3436 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3437 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3438 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3439 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3440 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3441 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3442 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3443 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3444 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3445 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3446 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3447 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3448 other minor changes.
3449 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3450 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3451 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3452 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3453 course there's -X ..)
3454 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3455 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

3458 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3459 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3460 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3461 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

3506 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3507 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3508 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3509 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3510 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
3512 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.

3537 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3539 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3540 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3541 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3542 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3543 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3544 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3545 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3546 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3547 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3548 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3549 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3550 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3551 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3552 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3553 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3554 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3556 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3589 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3591 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3592 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3593 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3594 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3595 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3596 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3597 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3598 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3599 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3779 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3780 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3781 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3782 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3783 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3784 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3785 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3811 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3812 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3813 program those options go to. So, for example,
3814 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3815 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

4019 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4020 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4021 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4022 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4023 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4024 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4025 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4026 but is mildly deprecated.
4027 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4028 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4029 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4030 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4031 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4032 switching to statoverrides..
4033 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4034 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4035 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4036 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4037 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4038 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4040 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4041 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4042 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4043 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4044 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4045 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4046 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4047 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4048 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4050 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4051 variable names, pod man pages).
4052 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4053 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4054 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4055 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4056 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4057 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4058 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4127 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
4128 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
4129 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
4130 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4131 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4132 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4133 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4134 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4135 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
4136 it is an obsolete program.

4224 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4225 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4226 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4227 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4229 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4230 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4231 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4233 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4235 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4236 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4237 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4238 should now be raised to severity important..
4239 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4240 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4281 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4282 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4478 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4479 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4480 notice until v2 is complete.
4481 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4482 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4483 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4484 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4485 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4486 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4488 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4489 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4490 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4491 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4701 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4702 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4703 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4704 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4705 bits until all files have been registered.

4715 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4716 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4717 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4718 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4719 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4720 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4721 otherwise change the result at all.
4723 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4724 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4844 I made some changes, though:
4845 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4846 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4847 that is a clear violation of policy.
4848 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4849 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4850 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4851 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4852 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4853 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4854 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4855 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4856 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4858 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5022 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
5023 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5024 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5025 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5026 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5027 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5028 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5029 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5030 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5031 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5032 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5033 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5040 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
5041 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5043 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5044 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5045 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5046 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5047 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5048 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5741 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5742 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5984 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5985 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5986 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5987 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6023 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6024 sections of shared libraries.
6025 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6026 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6027 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6028 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6029 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6030 things you don't want them to.

6060 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

6091 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6092 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6093 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6094 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6095 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6096 I apologize for the inconvenience.
6098 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6099 remove debian/files properly.
6100 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

6102 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

6120 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

6151 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
6152 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6163 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6164 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6165 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6166 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6167 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6168 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6169 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6170 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6171 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6173 passed any switches.

6354 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6355 past week. Thanks, guys!
6357 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6358 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6359 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6360 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6361 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6362 would do in the same situation.
6363 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6364 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6366 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6368 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6369 permissions changed.
6370 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6371 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6372 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6373 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6374 files are treated identically.

6389 use -X multiple times, too.

6518 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
6519 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command

6651 argument processor in perl.

6664 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6666 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6667 are supported. (#16935)

6684 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
6685 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6686 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6687 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6688 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

6693 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6695 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6696 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6697 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6699 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6700 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6701 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6702 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6703 a given package, or -i or -a.
6704 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6705 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6706 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6707 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6708 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6709 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6710 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6711 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6712 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6714 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6715 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

6739 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6766 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

6787 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6788 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6789 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6790 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6791 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

7001 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7003 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7004 is ready for general use.
7005 * Added man pages for all commands.
7006 * Multiple binary package support.
7007 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7008 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7009 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7011 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7012 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7013 auto-installed as parameters.
7014 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7016 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7019 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7020 the package build directory it is to act on.
7021 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7022 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7023 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
