122 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
124 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
125 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
126 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
127 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
128 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
130 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
131 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
132 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
134 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
135 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
136 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
137 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
138 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
139 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
140 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
141 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
142 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
143 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
144 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
145 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.
146 * Remove obsolete versioned dependency on perl-base.

254 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
255 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur

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

276 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
277 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:

398 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
399 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
400 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
401 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
402 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
403 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
404 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
405 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
406 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
407 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
408 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
409 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
410 commands. (See #570039)

499 * dh_bugfiles: Doc typo. Closes: #563269
500 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
501 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
502 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
503 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
504 options that they do not support.
505 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
506 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
507 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773
508 (It also ensures that the commands dh prints out can really be run.)
509 * qmake: New buildsystem contributed by Kel Modderman. Closes: #566840
510 * Fix typo in call to abs2rel in --builddir sanitize code.

524 xfonts-utils is removed before a font package is purged.

551 * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
552 be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
553 some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)
554 * dh: Document --no-act. Closes: #557505

562 * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
563 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop

585 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
586 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
587 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
588 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
589 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
590 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
591 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
592 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
593 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
594 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
595 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
596 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
597 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
598 time soon.) Closes: #554509
599 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
601 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
602 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899

604 document id. Closes: #555677

606 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
607 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
608 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
609 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
611 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
612 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
613 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

633 * python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force

643 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
644 (It was only run once due to logging.)
645 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
646 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
647 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
648 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
649 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
650 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
651 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
652 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev

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

690 by adding add_command_options and remove_command_options to the interface.

707 I can't see a good way to determine when it's appropriate to do

833 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
834 contributed by Modestas Vainius
835 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
836 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
837 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
838 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
839 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
840 that support it. Closes: #480577
841 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
842 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
843 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
845 - Adds support for cmake.
846 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
847 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
849 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
851 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
852 that use them. The options are:
853 --sourcedir, --destdir
854 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
855 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
856 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
857 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
858 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

926 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
927 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1142 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1143 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1144 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1145 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1670 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most

1696 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1697 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1698 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1827 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1828 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1829 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1830 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1831 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1832 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1833 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1835 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1836 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1837 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2058 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
2059 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
2060 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
2061 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
2062 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

2094 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
2095 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

2098 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

2213 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility

2217 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3506 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for

3539 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3540 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3541 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3542 dh_install, which ...
3543 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3544 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3545 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3546 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3547 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3548 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3549 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3550 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3551 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3552 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3553 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3554 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3555 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3556 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3557 other minor changes.
3558 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3559 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3560 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3561 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3562 course there's -X ..)
3563 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3564 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3565 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3567 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3568 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3569 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3570 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3571 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3615 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3616 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3617 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3618 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3619 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3646 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3648 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3649 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3650 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3651 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3652 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3653 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3654 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3655 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3656 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3657 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3658 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3659 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3660 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3661 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3662 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3663 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3665 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3700 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3701 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3702 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3703 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3704 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3705 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3706 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3707 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3708 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3892 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3893 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3894 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

4068 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4069 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies

4071 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

4128 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4129 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4130 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4131 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4132 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

4134 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4135 but is mildly deprecated.
4136 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4137 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4138 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4139 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4140 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4141 switching to statoverrides..
4142 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4143 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4144 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4145 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4146 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4147 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4149 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4150 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4151 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4152 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4153 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4154 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4155 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4156 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4157 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4159 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4160 variable names, pod man pages).
4161 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4162 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4163 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4164 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4165 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4166 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4167 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4333 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4339 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4340 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4583 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4584 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4585 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4586 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4587 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4588 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4589 notice until v2 is complete.
4590 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatible
4591 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4592 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4593 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4594 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4595 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4597 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4598 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4811 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4812 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4813 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

4954 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4955 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4956 that is a clear violation of policy.
4957 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4958 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4959 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4960 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4961 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4962 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4963 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4964 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4965 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories

4986 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
4987 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing

5009 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

5131 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
5132 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5133 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5134 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5135 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5136 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5137 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5138 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5139 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5140 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5141 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5142 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5149 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
5150 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5152 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5153 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5154 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5155 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5156 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5157 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

6072 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6073 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6074 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

6089 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6090 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6091 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6092 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6093 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6094 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6095 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6096 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6132 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6133 sections of shared libraries.
6134 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6135 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6136 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6137 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6138 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6139 things you don't want them to.

6278 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6279 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6280 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6468 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6469 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6470 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6471 would do in the same situation.
6472 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6473 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6475 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6477 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6478 permissions changed.
6479 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6480 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6481 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6482 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6483 files are treated identically.
6484 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6485 * Minor man page fixes.
6486 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
6487 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
6488 --no-act is on. (#23054)

6494 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
6495 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
6496 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
6497 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6498 use -X multiple times, too.
6499 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6500 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6976 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
6977 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6978 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6979 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6980 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6981 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

7032 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
7033 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
7034 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
7035 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
7036 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

7040 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
7042 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
7043 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
7044 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
7045 multiple binary packages.
7046 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
7047 should rebuild them with this version.
7048 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

7066 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7068 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7069 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7070 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7071 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7072 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7073 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7074 debian/README.debian.
7075 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7076 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7077 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7078 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7079 in a few situations.)

7110 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7112 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7113 is ready for general use.
7114 * Added man pages for all commands.
7115 * Multiple binary package support.
7116 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7117 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7118 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7120 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7121 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7122 auto-installed as parameters.
7123 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7125 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7128 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7129 the package build directory it is to act on.
7130 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7131 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7132 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
