+ * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
+ behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
+ line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
+ first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
+ a given package, or -i or -a.
+ * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
+ "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

+ * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
+ is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
