This command will prevent distutils from attempting to determine

Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink. Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson

Bug#545676: dh_installdocs: option to link documentation directories
As discussed by e-mail, dh_installdocs could do with an option to make
the documentation directory a symlink, to clean up dh-using packages
that otherwise need to use override targets to arrange for dh_link to
run before dh_installdocs.
This turns out to be slightly involved due to the need to handle the
case where you want to do this *and* also install some extra
documentation in the symlink target, while also making a dangling
symlink and avoiding file conflicts in the simple case, so I had to
change dh_installchangelogs as well. I think this is right now; tested
on debconf ('dh_installdocs -Ndebconf-doc --link-doc=debconf;
dh_installdocs -pdebconf-doc') and groff ('dh_installdocs
--link-doc=groff-base').

upstart support
Patch dh_installinit to handle upstart job files in preference over init
scripts, and provide compatibility symlinks in /etc/init.d for sysv-rc
implementations. Closes: #536035.
The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users do
not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package that only
builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that situation. Closes: #540794

Support --destdir option in dh_auto_install
This patch adds --destdir option to dh_auto_install which allows to override
destdir auto-selection. This basically closes #538201 since the same requested
behaviour can be achieved but in a more clean way.

drop regex support from remove_command_options
I hope that it will not be needed; indeed I doubt that
remove_command_options will be used much, because sequence addons would
need to try to do conflicting things to need it. And the interface makes it
hard for such conflicting sequence addons to work around the other, since
addons can be loaded in either order. So let's not encourage them too
much, and if there's a use case later, we can made changes.
I haven't applied Modestas's enhanced patch that allows adding an option to
all commands because I similarly think it might not be used. If a use case
comes along we can add something like that.
