3 * Updated French translation.
4 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatability

6 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
7 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).

37 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
38 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
39 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
40 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
41 options that they do not support.
42 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
43 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
44 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773

99 * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
100 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop

122 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
123 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
124 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
125 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
126 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
127 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
128 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
129 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
130 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
131 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
132 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
133 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
134 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
135 time soon.) Closes: #554509
136 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
138 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
139 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899

141 document id. Closes: #555677
142 * Typo. Closes: #555659
143 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
144 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
145 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
146 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
148 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
149 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
150 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

180 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
181 (It was only run once due to logging.)
182 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
183 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
184 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
185 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
186 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
187 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
188 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
189 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev

209 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
210 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
211 flag with arch all/any packages.
212 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
213 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
214 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
215 situation. Closes: #540794

373 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
374 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
375 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
376 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
377 that support it. Closes: #480577
378 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
379 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
380 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
382 - Adds support for cmake.
383 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
384 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
386 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
388 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
389 that use them. The options are:
390 --sourcedir, --destdir
391 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
392 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
393 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
394 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
395 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

681 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
682 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1207 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most

1232 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1233 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1234 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1235 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1364 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1365 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1366 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1367 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1368 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1369 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1370 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1372 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1373 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1374 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3040 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
3041 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
3042 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
3043 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
3044 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
3045 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
3046 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
3047 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
3048 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

3074 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3076 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3077 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3078 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3079 dh_install, which ...
3080 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3081 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3082 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3083 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3084 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3085 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3086 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3087 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3088 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3089 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3090 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3091 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3092 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3093 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3094 other minor changes.
3095 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3096 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3097 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3098 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3099 course there's -X ..)
3100 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3101 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3102 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3104 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3105 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3106 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3107 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3108 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3150 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
3152 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3153 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3154 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3155 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3156 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
3158 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
3159 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

3183 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3185 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3186 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3187 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3188 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3189 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3190 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3191 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3192 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3193 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3194 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3195 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3196 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3197 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3198 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3199 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3200 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3202 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3214 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
3216 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
3218 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3219 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3220 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3221 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3222 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3223 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3224 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3235 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3237 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3238 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3239 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3240 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3241 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3242 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3243 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3244 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3245 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
3246 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message

3423 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3424 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3425 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3426 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3427 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3428 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3429 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3430 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3431 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3456 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3457 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3458 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3459 program those options go to. So, for example,
3460 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3603 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3604 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3605 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3606 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3607 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3608 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3665 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3666 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3667 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3668 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3669 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3671 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3672 but is mildly deprecated.
3673 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3674 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3675 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3676 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3677 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3678 switching to statoverrides..
3679 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3680 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3681 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3682 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3683 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3684 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3686 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3687 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3688 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3689 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3690 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3691 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3692 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3693 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3694 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3696 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3697 variable names, pod man pages).
3698 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3699 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3700 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3701 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3702 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3703 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3704 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3870 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3876 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3877 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4120 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4121 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4122 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4123 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4124 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4125 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4126 notice until v2 is complete.
4127 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4128 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4129 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4130 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4131 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4132 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4134 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4135 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4136 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4348 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4349 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4350 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

4490 I made some changes, though:
4491 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4492 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4493 that is a clear violation of policy.
4494 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4495 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4496 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4497 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4498 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4499 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4500 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4501 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)

4669 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4670 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4671 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4672 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4673 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4674 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4675 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4676 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4677 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4678 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4679 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5628 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5629 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5630 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5631 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5632 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5633 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5674 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5675 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do

6004 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6005 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6006 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6007 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6008 would do in the same situation.
6009 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6010 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6012 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6014 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6015 permissions changed.
6016 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6017 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6018 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6019 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6020 files are treated identically.
6021 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6022 * Minor man page fixes.
6023 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
6024 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
6025 --no-act is on. (#23054)

6031 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
6032 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
6033 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
6034 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6035 use -X multiple times, too.
6036 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6037 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6043 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping
6044 elf binaries. This makes for smaller output files. This has always been
6045 broken in debhelper before! (#22395)

6058 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
6059 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
6060 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
6061 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
6062 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6063 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
6064 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
6065 shape if you're starting a new package.

6094 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
6095 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
6096 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
6097 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
6099 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.

6163 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
6164 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
6165 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
6166 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
6167 no packages use the old behavior.

6310 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6311 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6312 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6313 are supported. (#16935)

6331 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6332 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6333 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6334 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

6339 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6341 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6342 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6345 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6346 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6347 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6348 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6349 a given package, or -i or -a.
6350 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6351 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6352 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6353 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6354 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6355 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6356 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6357 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6358 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6360 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6361 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

6435 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6436 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6437 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

6513 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
6514 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6515 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6516 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6517 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6518 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6569 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6570 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6571 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6572 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
6573 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6577 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6579 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6580 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6581 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6582 multiple binary packages.
6583 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6584 should rebuild them with this version.
6585 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6603 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6605 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6606 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6607 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6608 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6609 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6610 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6611 debian/README.debian.
6612 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6613 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6614 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6615 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6616 in a few situations.)

6620 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
6622 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

6647 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6649 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6650 is ready for general use.
6651 * Added man pages for all commands.
6652 * Multiple binary package support.
6653 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6654 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6655 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6657 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6658 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6659 auto-installed as parameters.
6660 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6662 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6665 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6666 the package build directory it is to act on.
6667 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6668 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6669 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
