3 * clean up dh's handling of options passed onto commands it calls,
4 by implementing one of the changes discussed in #570039
5 (either change #3, change #4, or change #5; change #0 was done, but
6 was an incomplete workaround)
7 My preference ATM is #3, require dh options come before --,
8 and after, options to be passed on to commands.
9 * better package arch filtering for -N , -p (#576990)
10 * Support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug ; maybe also support passing
11 -g -O2 by default. See patch (and discussion of why this breaks
12 compatability) in #544844.
16 * escaping in config files (for whitespace)?
17 * dh_installinit --restart-after-upgrade as default?
21 * DH_COMPAT 1, 2, 3, 4. Can be removed once all packages are seen to be using
22 a newer version. I won't hold my breath. Now with evil warning messages
24 * dh_suidregister. Once nothing in the archive uses it.
26 * dh_movefiles. I won't hold my breath. Have not added deprecation
29 * dh_installinit --init-script (make it warn)
32 * dh_desktop, dh_scrollkeeper. Remove eventually..
33 * -s flag, not formally deprecated yet; remove eventually
34 * -u flag; add a warning on use and remove eventually
35 * delsubstvar() and the last parameter to addsubstvar that makes it remove
36 a string are not used in debhelper itself, but have been left in the
37 library in case other things use them. Deprecate and remove.
38 * dh --before , --after , --until , --remaining (not formally deprecated yet)
39 * debian/compress files
41 Also, grep the entire archive for all dh_* command lines,
42 and check to see what other switches are not being used, and maybe remove
