13 * Add --parallel option that can be used to enable parallel building
14 without limiting the max number of parallel jobs. (Modestas Vainius)
15 * dh_makeshlibs: Temporarily revert fix for #557603, as it caused
16 dpkg-gensymbols to see libraries not in the regular search path and
17 broke builds. This will be re-enabled in v8. Closes: #560217

31 * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
32 be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
33 some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)

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

65 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
66 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
67 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
68 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
69 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
70 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
71 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
72 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
73 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
74 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
75 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
76 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
77 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
78 time soon.) Closes: #554509
79 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
81 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
82 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899
83 * dh_installdocs: Warn if a doc-base file cannot be parsed to find a
84 document id. Closes: #555677
85 * Typo. Closes: #555659
86 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
87 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
88 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
89 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
91 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
92 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
93 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

113 * python_distutils: Run default python last, not first, and pass --force
114 to setup.py install to ensure that timestamps do not prevent installation
115 of the scripts built for the default python, with unversioned shebang
116 lines. Closes: #547510 (Thanks, Andrew Straw)

123 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
124 (It was only run once due to logging.)
125 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
126 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
127 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
128 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
129 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
130 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
131 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
132 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
133 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev

150 debhelper (7.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
152 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
153 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
154 flag with arch all/any packages.
155 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
156 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
157 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
158 situation. Closes: #540794

170 by adding add_command_options and remove_command_options to the interface.

313 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
314 contributed by Modestas Vainius
315 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
316 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
317 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
318 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
319 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
320 that support it. Closes: #480577
321 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
322 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
323 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
325 - Adds support for cmake.
326 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
327 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
329 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
331 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
332 that use them. The options are:
333 --sourcedir, --destdir
334 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
335 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
336 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
337 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
338 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

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

610 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
612 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
613 that uses them. Affected options are:
614 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
615 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
616 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

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

1013 * Reword paragraph about debian/compress files to perhaps be more clear
1014 about the debian/compress file. Closes: #448759
1015 * dh_installdirs(1): Remove unnecessary caveat about slashes.
1016 * dh_icons: Now that GTK 2.12 has entered testing, use the much simpler to
1017 call update-icon-caches command. Thanks, Josselin Mouette.

1149 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1150 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1152 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1153 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1154 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1155 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1156 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1157 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1158 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
1159 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
1160 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

1169 package install. Closes: #415717
1170 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1171 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1172 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1173 script and then remove the python files.
1174 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1175 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1176 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1177 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1178 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1179 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1180 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1181 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1182 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1183 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
1184 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
1185 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have

1304 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1305 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

1307 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1308 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1309 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1310 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1311 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1312 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1313 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1315 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1316 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1317 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1318 the not too-distant future).

1537 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
1538 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
1539 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
1540 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
1541 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
1542 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
1543 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

1574 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
1575 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
1576 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980

1695 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1696 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1697 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3026 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3027 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3028 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3029 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3030 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3031 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3032 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3033 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3034 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3035 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3036 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3037 other minor changes.
3038 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3039 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3040 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3041 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3042 course there's -X ..)
3043 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3044 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3045 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3047 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3048 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3049 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3050 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3051 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3096 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

3098 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

3126 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3128 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3129 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3130 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3131 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3132 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3133 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3134 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3135 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3136 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3137 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3138 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3139 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3140 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3141 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3142 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3143 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3145 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3180 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3181 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3182 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3183 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3184 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3185 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3186 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3187 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3525 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

3546 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3547 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3548 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3549 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3550 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3551 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3606 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3608 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3609 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3610 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3611 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3612 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3613 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3614 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3615 but is mildly deprecated.
3616 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3617 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3618 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3619 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3620 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3621 switching to statoverrides..
3622 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3623 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3624 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3625 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3626 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3627 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3629 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3630 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3631 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3632 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3633 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3634 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3635 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3636 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3637 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3639 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3640 variable names, pod man pages).
3641 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3642 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3643 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3644 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3645 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3646 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3647 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3720 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3813 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3815 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3816 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3818 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3819 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3820 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3825 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3826 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4063 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4064 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4065 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4066 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4067 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4068 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4069 notice until v2 is complete.
4070 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4071 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4072 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4073 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4074 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4075 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4077 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4078 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4079 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4204 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4291 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4292 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4293 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4294 bits until all files have been registered.

4309 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4310 otherwise change the result at all.
4312 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4313 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4433 I made some changes, though:
4434 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4435 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4436 that is a clear violation of policy.
4437 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4438 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4439 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4440 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4441 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4442 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4443 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4444 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4445 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4447 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4611 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4612 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4613 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4614 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4615 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4616 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4617 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4618 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4619 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4620 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4621 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4622 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4629 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4630 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4632 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4633 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4634 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4635 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4636 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4637 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5541 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
5542 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
5543 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

5552 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5553 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5554 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5555 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5569 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5570 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5571 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5572 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5573 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5574 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5575 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5576 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5615 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5616 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5617 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5618 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5619 things you don't want them to.

5682 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5683 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5684 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

5950 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5951 would do in the same situation.

6002 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
6003 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
6004 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
6005 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6006 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
6007 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
6008 shape if you're starting a new package.

6291 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6292 a given package, or -i or -a.
6293 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6294 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6295 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6296 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6297 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6298 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6299 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6300 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6512 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6513 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6514 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6515 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
6516 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6520 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6522 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6523 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6524 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6525 multiple binary packages.
6526 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6527 should rebuild them with this version.
6528 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6532 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
6534 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
6535 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

6539 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

6546 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6548 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6549 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6550 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6551 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6552 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6553 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6554 debian/README.debian.
6555 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6556 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6557 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6558 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6559 in a few situations.)

6563 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
6565 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

6569 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

6582 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
6584 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
6585 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
6586 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

6590 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6592 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6593 is ready for general use.
6594 * Added man pages for all commands.
6595 * Multiple binary package support.
6596 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6597 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6598 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6600 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6601 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6602 auto-installed as parameters.
6603 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6605 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6608 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6609 the package build directory it is to act on.
6610 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6611 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6612 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
