27 * dh: The --before --after --until and --remaining options are deprecated.
28 Use override targets instead.
29 * Assume that the package can be cleaned (i.e. the build directory can be
30 removed) as long as it is built out-of-source tree and can be configured.
31 This is useful for derivative buildsystems which generate Makefiles.

34 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. (Modestas Vainius) Closes: #587885
35 * dpkg-buildflags is only used to set environment in v9, to avoid
36 re-breaking packages that were already broken a first time by
37 dpkg-buildpackage unconditionally setting the environment, and
38 worked around that by unsetting variables in the rules file.

106 * dh_clean: Remove debhelper logs for all packages, including packages
107 not being acted on. dh can sometimes produce such logs by accident
108 when passed bundled options (like "-Nfoo" instead of "-N foo") that
109 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
110 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur
111 for other reasons, like interrupted builds during development,
112 and it should be safe to clean them all. Closes: #623446

118 debhelper (8.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
121 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
122 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
123 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
125 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
126 changes may be added to that mode.
127 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
128 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
129 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
130 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
131 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
132 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
133 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
134 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.
135 * Removed old example rules files.
136 * dh_installgsettings: New command to handle gsettings schema files.

155 triplet-strip from cross-binutils when cross-compiling; Closes: #412118.
156 (Thanks, Loïc Minier)
157 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
158 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
159 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
160 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
161 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

169 python-dbg is run it does not win and result in scripts having it in
170 the shebang line. Closes: #589759

172 * Avoid open fd 5 or 6 breaking buildsystem test suite. Closes: #596679
173 * Large update to Spanish man page translations by Omar Campagne.
175 * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
176 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
177 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to
178 dpkg-maintscript-helper later on. Closes: #574443

180 * Massive man page typography patch. Closes: #600883
181 (Thanks, David Prévot)
182 * Explicitly build-depend on a new enough perl-base. Closes: #601188
183 * dh: Inhibit logging when an override target runs the overridden command,
184 to avoid unexpected behavior if the command succeeded but the overall
185 target fails. Closes: #601037
186 * Fix deprecated command list on translated debhelper(7) man pages.
188 * dh: Improve filtering in dh_listpackages example. Closes: #604561
189 * dh: Add support for build-arch, build-indep, install-arch and
190 install-indep sequences. Closes: #604563
191 (Thanks, Roger Leigh)
192 * dh_listpackages: Do not display warnings if options cause no packages
194 * dh_installdocs: Clarify that debian/README.Debian and debian/TODO are
195 only installed into the first package listed in debian/control.
197 * dh_compress: Javascript files are not compressed, as these go with
198 (uncompressed) html files. Closes: #603553
199 * dh_compress: Ignore objects.inv files, generated by Sphinx documentation.
201 * dh_installinit: never call init scripts directly, only through invoke-rc.d

230 * In v8 mode, stop passing packlist=0 in perl_makemaker buildsystem,

236 debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
238 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
239 changes are planned for that mode.
240 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
241 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
242 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
243 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
244 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
245 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
246 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
247 (genesis) still uses them.
248 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
249 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
250 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
251 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
252 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
253 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
254 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
255 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
256 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
257 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
258 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
259 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
260 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
261 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
262 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
263 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
264 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
265 commands. (See #570039)
266 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
268 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

309 * Updated French translation.
310 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
311 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
312 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
313 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
315 * Typo. Closes: #571968
316 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
317 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
318 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
319 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
320 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
321 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
322 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077

501 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
502 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
503 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson

689 contributed by Modestas Vainius
690 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
691 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
692 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
693 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
694 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
695 that support it. Closes: #480577
696 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
697 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
698 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
700 - Adds support for cmake.
701 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
702 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
704 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
706 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
707 that use them. The options are:
708 --sourcedir, --destdir
709 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
710 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
711 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
712 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
713 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1022 * dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
1023 for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.
1024 (Thanks Modestas Vainius for the improved makefile parser.)
1025 * dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these
1026 eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
1027 than the old method.
1028 * Remove rules.simple example, there's little need to use explicit targets
1030 * dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B,
1031 which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit
1032 rules (see bug #509756).

1072 * dh_auto_install: Rather than looking at the number of binary packages
1073 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the
1074 source package when deciding whether to install to debian/package or
1075 debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any

1111 * dh_installinit: Add --restart-after-upgrade, which avoids stopping a
1112 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
1113 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
1114 while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default

1168 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
1169 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
1170 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1171 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
1172 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
1173 logging by dh_listpackages.

1203 lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
1205 * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,

1216 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
1217 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
1218 but not yet implemented.)
1219 * New v7 mode, which only has three changes from v6, and is the new
1220 recommended default, especially when using dh.
1221 * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
1222 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

1524 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1525 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1527 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1528 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1529 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1530 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1531 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1532 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1533 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.

1535 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

1545 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1546 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1547 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1548 script and then remove the python files.
1549 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1550 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1551 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1552 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1553 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1554 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963

1556 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

1558 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1679 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1680 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1681 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1682 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for

1686 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1687 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1688 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1690 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1691 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1692 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2072 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3394 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3395 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3396 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3397 dh_install, which ...
3398 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3399 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3400 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3401 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3402 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3403 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3404 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3405 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3406 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3407 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3408 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3409 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3410 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3411 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3412 other minor changes.
3413 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3414 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3415 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3416 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3417 course there's -X ..)
3418 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3419 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3420 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3422 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3423 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3424 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3425 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3426 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3473 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3474 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3501 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3503 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3504 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3505 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3506 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3507 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3508 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3509 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3510 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3511 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3512 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3513 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3514 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3515 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3516 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3517 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3518 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3520 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3538 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3539 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3540 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3541 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3542 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3553 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3555 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3556 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3557 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3558 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3559 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3560 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3561 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3562 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3563 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3744 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented

3747 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3748 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3749 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3775 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3776 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever

3986 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3987 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3988 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3989 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3990 but is mildly deprecated.
3991 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3992 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3993 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3994 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3995 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3996 switching to statoverrides..
3997 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3998 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3999 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4000 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4001 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4002 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4004 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4005 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4006 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4007 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4008 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4009 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4010 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4011 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4012 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4014 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4015 variable names, pod man pages).
4016 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4017 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4018 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4019 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4020 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4021 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4022 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4094 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4095 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

4188 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4190 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4191 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4193 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4194 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4195 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4197 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

4200 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4201 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4246 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4438 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4439 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4440 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4441 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4442 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4443 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4444 notice until v2 is complete.
4445 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4446 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4447 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4448 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4449 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4450 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4452 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4576 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4577 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4579 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4580 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4581 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4582 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4583 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4584 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

4664 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4665 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4666 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4667 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4668 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4669 bits until all files have been registered.

4679 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4680 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4681 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4682 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4683 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4684 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4685 otherwise change the result at all.
4687 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4688 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4689 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4707 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4708 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4710 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4711 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4712 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

4807 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4808 I made some changes, though:
4809 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4810 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4811 that is a clear violation of policy.
4812 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4813 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4814 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4815 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4816 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4817 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4818 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4819 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4820 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4822 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4866 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4867 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4868 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4993 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4994 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4995 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4996 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4997 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5003 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
5004 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
5005 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5007 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5008 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5009 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5010 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5011 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5012 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
5014 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
5015 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5520 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of

5705 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5706 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
5707 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I

5733 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5734 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5735 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5736 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5739 suidregister actually supports it.

5757 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

5946 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to

5948 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5949 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5950 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5951 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6055 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6056 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6057 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6058 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6059 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6060 I apologize for the inconvenience.

6063 remove debian/files properly.

6131 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6132 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6133 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem

6318 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6319 past week. Thanks, guys!
6321 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6322 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6323 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6324 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6325 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6326 would do in the same situation.
6327 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6328 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

6332 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6333 permissions changed.

6335 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6336 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6337 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6338 files are treated identically.

6353 use -X multiple times, too.

6483 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
6484 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
6485 no packages use the old behavior.

6666 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6667 a given package, or -i or -a.
6668 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6669 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6670 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6671 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6673 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6675 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
