83 debhelper (7.3.0) experimental; urgency=low
85 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
86 contributed by Modestas Vainius
87 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
88 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
89 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
90 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
91 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
92 that support it. Closes: #480577
93 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
94 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
95 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
97 - Adds support for cmake.
98 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
99 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
101 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
103 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
104 that use them. The options are:
105 --sourcedir, --destdir
106 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
107 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
108 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
109 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
110 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

152 * dh_install: Handle correctly the case where a glob expands to
153 a dangling symlink, installing the dangling link as requested.
155 * dh_install: Fix fallback use of debian/tmp in v7 mode; a bug caused
156 it to put files inside a debian/tmp directory in the package build

172 * Allow command-specific options to be passed to commands
173 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
174 warning or deprecation message.
175 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
176 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
177 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
178 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
179 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
180 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
181 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

394 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
395 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
396 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
397 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

522 * dh: Add an interface that third-party packages providing debhelper commands
523 can use to insert them into a command sequence.

565 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
566 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
567 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
568 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
569 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
570 logging by dh_listpackages.

1075 * Update of dh_python
1076 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1077 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1078 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1079 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1080 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1081 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1082 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1083 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1084 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1085 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1087 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1088 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1089 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1090 the not too-distant future).
1091 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1092 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1093 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1094 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
1095 thus made the build fail.

2011 * Removed the no upstream changelog for debian packages test.
2012 Even though it has personally saved me many times, debhelper is not
2013 intended to check packages for mistakes, and apparently it makes sense
2014 for some "native" packages to have a non-Debian changelog.
2016 * If a native package has an upstream changelog, call the debian/changelog
2018 * postinst-menu-method: always chmod menu-method executable even if
2019 update-menus is not. Closes: #220576
2020 * dh_installmenu: do not ship menu-methods executable.

2792 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2793 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2794 dh_install, which ...
2795 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2796 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2797 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2798 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2799 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2800 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2801 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2802 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2803 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2804 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2805 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2806 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2807 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2808 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2809 other minor changes.
2810 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2811 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2812 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2813 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2814 course there's -X ..)
2815 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2816 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2819 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2820 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

2870 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2871 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2898 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2900 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2901 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2902 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2903 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2904 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2905 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2906 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2907 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2908 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2909 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2910 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2911 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2912 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2913 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2914 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2915 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2917 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2952 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2953 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2954 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2955 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2956 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2957 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2958 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2959 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2960 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3136 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3137 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3138 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3139 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3140 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3141 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3142 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3143 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3144 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3145 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3146 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3148 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3169 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3170 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3171 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3172 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3173 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3174 program those options go to. So, for example,
3175 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3176 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3318 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3319 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3320 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3321 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3322 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3323 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3324 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3380 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3381 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3382 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3383 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3384 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3385 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3386 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3387 but is mildly deprecated.
3388 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3389 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3390 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3391 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3392 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3393 switching to statoverrides..
3394 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3395 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3396 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3397 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3398 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3399 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3401 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3402 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3403 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3404 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3405 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3406 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3407 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3408 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3409 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3411 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3412 variable names, pod man pages).
3413 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3414 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3415 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3416 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3417 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3418 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3419 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3491 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3492 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3494 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3582 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3583 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3584 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3585 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3586 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3587 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3588 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3590 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3591 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3592 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3594 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3596 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3597 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3598 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3599 should now be raised to severity important..
3600 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3601 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3643 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3835 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3836 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3837 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3838 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3839 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3840 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3841 notice until v2 is complete.
3842 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3843 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3844 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3845 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3846 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3847 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3849 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4060 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4061 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4062 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4063 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4064 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4065 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4066 bits until all files have been registered.

4073 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely

4075 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4076 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4077 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4078 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4079 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4080 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4081 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4082 otherwise change the result at all.
4084 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4085 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4086 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
4087 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

4104 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4105 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4107 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4108 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4109 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4110 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4149 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

4204 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4205 I made some changes, though:
4206 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4207 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4208 that is a clear violation of policy.
4209 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4210 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4211 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4212 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4213 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4214 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4215 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4216 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4217 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4219 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4261 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4262 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4263 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4264 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4265 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4266 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
4267 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

4383 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4384 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4385 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4386 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4387 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4388 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4389 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4390 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4391 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4392 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4393 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4394 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4404 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4408 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4409 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4638 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4639 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
4640 * debhelper.1: documented this.

4715 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4716 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4717 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4732 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4733 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4781 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5130 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5131 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5132 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5133 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5136 suidregister actually supports it.
5137 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various

5154 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5155 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5156 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

5343 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to

5345 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5346 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5347 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5348 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5521 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
5522 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
5523 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5524 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5525 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5526 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5527 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5528 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5529 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5530 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5531 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5532 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5533 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5534 passed any switches.

5544 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
5545 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
5546 large chunks in the process.
5547 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5548 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5584 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

5715 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5716 past week. Thanks, guys!
5718 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5719 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5720 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5721 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5722 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5723 would do in the same situation.
5724 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5725 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5727 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5729 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5730 permissions changed.
5731 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5732 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5733 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5734 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5735 files are treated identically.
5736 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5749 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5750 use -X multiple times, too.
5751 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5752 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6011 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
6012 argument processor in perl.
6013 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
6014 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
6015 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
6016 * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).

6022 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
6023 type directories. (#16933)
6024 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
6025 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6026 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6027 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6028 are supported. (#16935)
6029 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

6043 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with

6046 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6047 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6048 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6049 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
6050 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

6056 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6057 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6060 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6061 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6062 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6063 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6064 a given package, or -i or -a.
6065 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6066 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6067 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6068 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6069 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6070 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6071 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6072 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6073 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6075 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6076 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
6077 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

6099 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6100 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6101 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

6148 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6149 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6150 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6151 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6152 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6153 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6154 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6297 multiple binary packages.

6322 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6323 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6324 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6325 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6326 debian/README.debian.
6327 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6328 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6329 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6330 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6331 in a few situations.)

6377 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6380 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6381 the package build directory it is to act on.
6382 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6383 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6384 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
