dh: When there's an -indep override target without -arch, or vice versa, avoid acting on packages covered by the override target when running the command for packages not covered by it. Closes: #676462
Hmm, this is technically a behavior change, but hopefully not one anything
could sanely depend on working like it used to.

v9 done
* Finalized v9 mode, which is the new recommended default.
(But continuing to use v8 is also fine.)
* It is now deprecated for a package to not specify a compatability
level in debian/compat. Debhelper now warns if this is not done,
and packages without a debian/compat will eventually FTBFS.

executable config files. bleh, argh
Debhelper config files may be made executable programs that output the
desired configuration. No further changes are planned to the config file
format; those needing powerful syntaxes may now use a programming language
of their choice.
In many bugs I see a tendency of users wanting debhelper configuration
files to have their pet feature from some programming language. So I choose
to short-circuit this process by taking it to its logical conclusion, and
without the bother of developing a new language myself.
[ Is this consistent with my boycott/disinterest in integrating features
features first developed in Ubuntu? Yes. Instead of blocking the
issue of multiarch needing variable expansions, I have stepped
back and let anyone make whatever mess they desire while not forcing
that mess on the rest of us. ]
