63 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
65 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
66 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
67 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
68 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
69 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
71 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
72 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
73 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
75 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
76 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
77 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
78 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
79 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
80 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
81 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
82 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
83 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
84 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
85 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
86 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.
87 * Remove obsolete versioned dependency on perl-base.
88 * Avoid writing debhelper log files in no-act mode. Closes: #640586

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

211 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more

216 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
217 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
218 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:

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

330 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
331 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
332 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
333 (genesis) still uses them.

339 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
340 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
341 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
342 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
343 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
344 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
345 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
346 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
347 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
348 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
349 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
350 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
351 commands. (See #570039)
352 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

526 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
527 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
528 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
529 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
530 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
531 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
532 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
533 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
534 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
535 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
536 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
537 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
538 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
539 time soon.) Closes: #554509

549 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
550 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
552 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
553 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
554 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

614 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
615 flag with arch all/any packages.
616 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users

775 contributed by Modestas Vainius
776 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
777 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
778 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
779 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
780 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
781 that support it. Closes: #480577
782 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
783 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
784 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
786 - Adds support for cmake.
787 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
788 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
790 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
792 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
793 that use them. The options are:
794 --sourcedir, --destdir
795 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
796 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
797 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
798 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
799 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1071 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
1073 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
1074 that uses them. Affected options are:
1075 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
1076 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
1077 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

1081 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
1082 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1083 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1084 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1085 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1086 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1636 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1637 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1638 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1639 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1644 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1768 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1769 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1770 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1771 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1772 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1773 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1774 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1776 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1777 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1778 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3496 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3497 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3498 other minor changes.
3499 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3500 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3501 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3502 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3503 course there's -X ..)
3504 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3505 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3506 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3508 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3509 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3510 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3511 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

3557 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

3559 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

3587 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3589 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3590 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3591 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3592 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3593 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3594 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3595 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3596 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3597 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3598 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3599 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3600 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3601 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3602 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3603 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3604 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3606 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3641 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3642 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3643 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3644 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3645 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3646 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3647 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3648 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3833 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3834 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3835 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3985 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
3986 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

4004 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

4006 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
4007 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
4008 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
4009 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4010 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4011 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4012 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
4013 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

4016 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants

4067 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4069 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4070 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4071 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4072 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4073 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4074 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4075 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4076 but is mildly deprecated.
4077 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4078 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4079 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4080 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4081 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4082 switching to statoverrides..
4083 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4084 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4085 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4086 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4087 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4088 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4090 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4091 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4092 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4093 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4094 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4095 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4096 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4097 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4098 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4100 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4101 variable names, pod man pages).
4102 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4103 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4104 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4105 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4106 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4107 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4108 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4180 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4181 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4182 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4183 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4184 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4185 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

4274 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4275 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4276 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4277 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4279 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4280 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4281 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4286 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4287 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4524 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4525 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4526 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4527 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4528 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4529 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4530 notice until v2 is complete.
4531 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4532 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4533 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4534 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4535 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4536 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4538 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4539 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4540 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4662 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4663 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4665 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4666 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4667 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4668 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4751 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4752 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4753 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4754 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4755 bits until all files have been registered.

4765 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4766 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4767 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4768 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4769 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4770 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4771 otherwise change the result at all.
4773 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4774 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4775 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4894 I made some changes, though:
4895 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4896 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4897 that is a clear violation of policy.
4898 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4899 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4900 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4901 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4902 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4903 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4904 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4905 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4906 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4908 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5072 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
5073 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5074 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5075 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5076 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5077 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5078 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5079 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5080 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5081 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5082 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5083 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5091 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5093 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5094 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5095 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5096 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5097 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5098 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5987 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.

5989 man pages, since it can link to undocuemented.7.gz in the same directory.

6001 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
6002 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
6003 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
6004 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
6005 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
6006 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

6012 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
6013 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6014 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6015 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6016 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6029 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
6030 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6031 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6032 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6033 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6034 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6035 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6036 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6037 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6073 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6074 sections of shared libraries.
6075 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6076 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6077 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6078 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6079 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6080 things you don't want them to.

6141 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in

6143 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6144 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6145 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

6219 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6220 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6221 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6404 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6405 past week. Thanks, guys!
6407 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6408 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6409 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6410 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6411 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6412 would do in the same situation.
6413 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6414 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6416 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6418 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

6421 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6422 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6423 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6424 files are treated identically.

6464 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
6465 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
6466 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6467 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6469 shape if you're starting a new package.

6753 a given package, or -i or -a.

6755 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6973 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6974 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6975 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6976 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
6977 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6981 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6983 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6984 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6985 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6986 multiple binary packages.
6987 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6988 should rebuild them with this version.
6989 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6993 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
6995 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
6996 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

7000 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
7002 * Added dh_md5sum, generates a md5sums file.
7003 * dh_clean: fixed to echo all commands when verbose mode is on.

7007 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7009 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7010 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7011 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7012 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7013 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7014 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7015 debian/README.debian.
7016 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7017 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7018 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7019 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7020 in a few situations.)

7024 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
7026 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

7030 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

7043 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
7045 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
7046 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
7047 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.
7049 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
7051 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7053 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7054 is ready for general use.
7055 * Added man pages for all commands.
7056 * Multiple binary package support.
7057 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7058 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7059 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7061 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7062 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7063 auto-installed as parameters.
7064 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7066 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7069 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7070 the package build directory it is to act on.
7071 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7072 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7073 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
