17 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
18 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
19 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
20 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
21 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
22 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
23 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
24 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
25 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
26 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
27 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
28 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
29 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
30 time soon.) Closes: #554509
31 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
33 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
34 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899
35 * dh_installdocs: Warn if a doc-base file cannot be parsed to find a
36 document id. Closes: #555677
37 * Typo. Closes: #555659
38 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
39 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
40 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
41 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
43 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
44 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
45 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

76 (It was only run once due to logging.)
77 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
78 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
79 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
80 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
81 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
82 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
83 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
84 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev

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

265 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
266 contributed by Modestas Vainius
267 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
268 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
269 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
270 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
271 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
272 that support it. Closes: #480577
273 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
274 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
275 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
277 - Adds support for cmake.
278 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
279 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
281 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
283 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
284 that use them. The options are:
285 --sourcedir, --destdir
286 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
287 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
288 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
289 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
290 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

358 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
359 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

561 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
562 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
564 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
565 that uses them. Affected options are:
566 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
567 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
568 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

571 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
572 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
573 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
574 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
575 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
576 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
577 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1101 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1102 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1104 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1105 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1106 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

1108 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537

1110 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.

1112 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

1123 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1124 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1125 script and then remove the python files.
1126 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1127 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1128 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1129 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1130 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1131 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1132 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1133 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1134 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1135 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1256 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1257 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1258 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1259 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1260 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1261 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1262 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1263 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1264 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1265 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1267 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1268 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1269 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1270 the not too-distant future).

1524 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only

1526 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
1527 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
1528 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
1529 * -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
1530 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

1645 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility

1647 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1648 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1649 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2972 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2973 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2974 dh_install, which ...
2975 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2976 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2977 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2978 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2979 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2980 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2981 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2982 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2983 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2984 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2985 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2986 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2987 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2988 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2989 other minor changes.
2990 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2991 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2992 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2993 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2994 course there's -X ..)

2996 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

3047 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3048 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3049 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3050 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3051 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3078 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3080 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3081 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3082 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3083 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3084 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3085 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3086 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3087 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3088 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3089 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3090 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3091 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3092 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3093 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3094 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3095 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3097 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3132 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3133 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3134 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3135 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3136 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3137 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3138 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3139 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3324 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3325 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3326 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3504 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
3505 Closes: #88464, #77743
3506 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
3507 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
3508 us to deal with that gracefully.

3558 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3560 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3561 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3562 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3563 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3564 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3565 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3566 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3567 but is mildly deprecated.
3568 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3569 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3570 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3571 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3572 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3573 switching to statoverrides..
3574 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3575 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3576 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3577 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3578 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3579 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3581 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3582 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3583 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3584 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3585 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3586 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3587 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3588 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3589 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3591 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3592 variable names, pod man pages).
3593 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3594 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3595 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3596 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3597 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3598 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3599 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3671 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3672 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3673 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3674 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3675 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

3765 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3766 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3767 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3768 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3770 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3771 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3772 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3774 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3776 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3777 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3778 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3779 should now be raised to severity important..

3822 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3823 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4015 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4016 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4017 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4018 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4019 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4020 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4021 notice until v2 is complete.
4022 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4023 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4024 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4025 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4026 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4027 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4029 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4030 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4031 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4032 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4153 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4154 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4156 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4157 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4158 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4159 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4160 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

4242 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4243 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4244 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4245 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4246 bits until all files have been registered.

4256 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4257 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4258 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4259 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4260 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4261 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4262 otherwise change the result at all.
4264 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4265 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4266 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4385 I made some changes, though:
4386 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4387 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4388 that is a clear violation of policy.
4389 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4390 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4391 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4392 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4393 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4394 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4395 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4396 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4397 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4399 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4563 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4564 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4565 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4566 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4567 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4568 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4569 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4570 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4571 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4572 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4573 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4574 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4581 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4582 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4584 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4585 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4586 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4587 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4588 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4589 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5522 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5523 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5524 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5525 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5526 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5527 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5528 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6002 fixes to the changelog, though - too many, and a changelog isn't meant
6003 to be changed after the fact :-)
6004 * dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from .la files genrated by libtool.

6034 installs symlink man pages from the source package (#19831).

6056 debhelper (0.71) unstable; urgency=low
6058 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
6059 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
6060 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
6061 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
6062 no packages use the old behavior.

6066 debhelper (0.70) unstable; urgency=low
6068 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
6069 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was
6070 gaining us anything, so let's remove it and save some disk space.

6120 debian-policy that du control files are bad.
6121 * examples/*: removed dh_du calls.
6122 * debian/rules: removed dh_du call.

6134 inspired to implement some of it.

6154 debhelper (0.59) unstable; urgency=low
6156 * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without
6157 actually doing anything. (Combine with -v to see what the command would
6158 have done.) (#17598)

6177 to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.

6181 debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low
6183 * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077
6184 * Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion,
6185 to some of the sample rules files. #17076

6189 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low
6191 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
6192 argument processor in perl.
6193 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
6194 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
6195 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
6196 * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).

6202 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
6203 type directories. (#16933)
6204 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
6205 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6206 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6207 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6208 are supported. (#16935)
6209 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

6221 debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low
6223 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
6225 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
6226 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6227 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6228 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6229 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
6230 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

6234 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6236 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6237 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6238 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6240 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6241 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6242 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6243 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6244 a given package, or -i or -a.
6245 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6246 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6247 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6248 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6249 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6250 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6251 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6252 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6253 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6255 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6256 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
6257 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

6277 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
6279 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6280 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6281 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
6282 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

6294 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
6295 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
6296 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
6297 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6298 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

6306 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
6307 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
6308 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
6309 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

6326 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
6328 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6329 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6330 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6331 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6332 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6333 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6334 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6410 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.

6505 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6506 debian/README.debian.
6507 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6508 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6509 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6510 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6511 in a few situations.)

6542 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6544 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6545 is ready for general use.
6546 * Added man pages for all commands.
6547 * Multiple binary package support.
6548 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6549 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6550 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6552 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6553 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6554 auto-installed as parameters.
6555 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6557 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6560 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6561 the package build directory it is to act on.
6562 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6563 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6564 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
