+debhelper (7.0.50) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
 
+  * This release is designed to be easily backportable to stable,
+    to support the new style of rules file that I expect many packages will
+    use.
   * dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
     for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.
