22 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
23 contributed by Modestas Vainius
24 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
25 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
26 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
27 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
28 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
29 that support it. Closes: #480577
30 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
31 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
32 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
34 - Adds support for cmake.
35 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
36 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
38 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
40 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
41 that use them. The options are:
42 --sourcedir, --destdir
43 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
44 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
45 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
46 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
47 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

96 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
97 warning or deprecation message.
98 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
99 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
100 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
101 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
102 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
103 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
104 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

522 This can be used to construct very short rules files (as short as 3
523 lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
525 * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
526 Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
527 options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
528 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
529 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
530 planned but not yet implemented.)
531 * dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
532 if the Makefile has such a target.
533 * dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
534 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.
535 * dh_auto_install: New program, automates running make install, or using
536 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
537 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned

540 recommended default, especially when using dh.

542 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

2567 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
2568 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
2569 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

2714 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2715 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2716 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2717 dh_install, which ...
2718 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2719 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2720 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2721 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2722 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2723 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2724 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2725 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2726 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2727 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2728 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2729 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2730 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2731 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2732 other minor changes.
2733 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2734 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2735 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2736 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2737 course there's -X ..)
2738 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2739 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2740 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2742 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2743 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2744 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2745 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2746 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2790 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2791 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2792 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2793 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2794 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2821 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2823 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2824 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2825 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2826 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2827 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2828 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2829 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2830 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2831 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2832 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2833 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2834 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2835 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2836 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2837 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2838 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2840 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2857 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2858 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2859 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2860 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2861 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2873 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2875 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2876 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2877 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2878 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2879 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2880 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2881 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2882 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2883 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3059 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3060 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3061 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3062 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3063 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3064 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3065 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3066 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3067 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3068 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3069 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3071 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3091 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3092 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3093 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3094 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3095 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3096 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3097 program those options go to. So, for example,
3098 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3099 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3241 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3242 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3243 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3244 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3245 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3246 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3301 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3303 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3304 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3305 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3306 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3307 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3308 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3309 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3310 but is mildly deprecated.
3311 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3312 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3313 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3314 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3315 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3316 switching to statoverrides..
3317 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3318 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3319 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3320 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3321 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3322 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3324 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3325 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3326 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3327 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3328 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3329 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3330 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3331 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3332 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3334 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3335 variable names, pod man pages).
3336 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3337 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3338 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3339 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3340 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3341 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3342 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3498 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
3499 backwards-compatability.

3503 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3505 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3506 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3507 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3508 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3509 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3510 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3511 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3513 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3514 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3515 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3517 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3519 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3520 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3521 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3522 should now be raised to severity important..
3523 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3524 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3564 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3565 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3566 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3567 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3580 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3581 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3582 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3583 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3584 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3692 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

3758 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3759 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3760 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3761 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3762 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3763 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3764 notice until v2 is complete.
3765 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3766 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3767 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3768 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3769 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3770 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3772 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3773 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3774 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3986 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3987 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3988 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3989 bits until all files have been registered.

4024 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
4025 act on files that don't exist.
4026 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
4027 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4028 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4030 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4031 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4032 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4033 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4051 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
4052 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.

4056 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
4058 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
4059 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
4061 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
4062 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
4063 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

4067 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low
4069 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
4070 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
4071 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
4072 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
4073 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
4074 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
4075 does not compress. Closes: #41733
4076 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
4078 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.
4080 * Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever.

4122 debhelper (2.0.62) unstable; urgency=low
4124 * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
4125 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
4126 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4127 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4128 I made some changes, though:
4129 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4130 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4131 that is a clear violation of policy.
4132 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4133 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4134 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4135 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4136 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4137 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4138 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4139 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4140 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4142 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4152 debhelper (2.0.60) unstable; urgency=low
4154 * dh_compress: After compressing an executable, changes the file mode to
4155 644. Executable .gz files are silly. Closes: #46383

4159 debhelper (2.0.59) unstable; urgency=low
4161 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
4162 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
4163 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

4181 debhelper (2.0.56) unstable; urgency=low
4183 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
4184 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4185 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4186 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4187 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4188 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4189 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
4190 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

4202 * Enhanced debconf support -- the database is now cleaned up on package
4204 * Broke all debconf support off into a dh_installdebconf script. This
4205 seems conceptually a little cleaner.

4218 don't do anything, rather than crashing.

4224 * dh_installdocs: create the compatability symlink before calling
4225 install-docs. I'm told this is better in some cases. (Closes: #45608)
4226 * examples/rules.multi2: clarified what you have to comment/uncomment.

4265 shouldn't be needed, there may be edge cases (cf bug 44924), where it

4303 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
4305 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
4306 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4307 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4308 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4309 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4310 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4311 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4312 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4313 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4314 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4315 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4316 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4317 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4321 debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
4323 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4324 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4325 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4327 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4328 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4329 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4330 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4331 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4332 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4334 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4335 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4386 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
4387 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
4388 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4389 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4390 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4391 it's always available.

4433 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
4434 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

4491 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4527 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
4528 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
4529 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

4546 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

4593 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4594 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install

4638 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses

4655 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4656 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5053 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5054 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5055 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5056 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5059 suidregister actually supports it.

5077 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

5268 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5269 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5270 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5271 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5637 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5638 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5639 past week. Thanks, guys!
5641 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5642 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5643 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5644 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5645 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5646 would do in the same situation.
5647 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5648 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5650 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5652 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5653 permissions changed.
5654 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5655 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5656 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5657 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5658 files are treated identically.
5659 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5672 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5673 use -X multiple times, too.

6022 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6023 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6024 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

6071 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6072 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6073 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6074 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6075 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6076 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6077 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6155 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6156 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6245 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6246 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6247 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6248 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6249 debian/README.debian.
6250 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6251 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6252 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6253 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6254 in a few situations.)

6293 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6295 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6296 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6297 auto-installed as parameters.
6298 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6300 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6303 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6304 the package build directory it is to act on.
6305 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6306 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6307 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
