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

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

288 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back

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

315 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
316 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
317 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
318 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
319 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

432 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded

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

539 recommended default, especially when using dh.

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

2566 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
2567 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the

2713 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2714 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2715 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2716 dh_install, which ...
2717 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2718 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2719 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2720 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2721 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2722 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2723 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2724 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2725 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2726 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2727 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2728 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2729 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2730 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2731 other minor changes.
2732 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2733 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2734 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2735 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2736 course there's -X ..)
2737 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2738 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2739 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2741 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2742 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2743 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2744 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2745 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2789 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2790 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2791 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2792 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2793 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2820 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2822 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2823 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2824 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2825 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2826 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2827 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2828 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2829 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2830 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2831 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2832 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2833 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2834 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2835 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2836 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2837 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2839 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2856 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2857 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2858 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2859 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2860 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2872 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2874 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2875 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2876 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2877 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2878 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2879 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2880 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2881 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2882 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3058 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3059 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3060 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3061 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3062 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3063 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3064 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3065 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3066 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3067 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3068 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3070 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3090 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3091 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3092 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3093 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3094 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3095 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3096 program those options go to. So, for example,
3097 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3098 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3240 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3241 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3242 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3243 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3244 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3245 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3300 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3302 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3303 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3304 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3305 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3306 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3307 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3308 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3309 but is mildly deprecated.
3310 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3311 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3312 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3313 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3314 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3315 switching to statoverrides..
3316 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3317 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3318 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3319 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3320 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3321 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3323 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3324 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3325 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3326 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3327 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3328 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3329 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3330 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3331 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3333 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3334 variable names, pod man pages).
3335 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3336 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3337 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3338 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3339 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3340 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3341 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3497 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
3498 backwards-compatability.

3502 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3504 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3505 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3506 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3507 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3508 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3509 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3510 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3512 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3513 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3514 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3516 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3518 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3519 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3520 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3521 should now be raised to severity important..
3522 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3523 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3563 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3564 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3565 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3566 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3579 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3580 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3581 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3582 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3583 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3691 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

3757 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3758 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3759 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3760 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3761 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3762 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3763 notice until v2 is complete.
3764 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3765 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3766 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3767 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3768 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3769 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3771 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3772 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3773 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3985 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3986 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3987 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3988 bits until all files have been registered.

4003 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4004 otherwise change the result at all.

4023 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
4024 act on files that don't exist.
4025 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
4026 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4027 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4029 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4030 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4031 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4032 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4038 * Actually, debhelper build-depends on perl-5.005.

4050 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
4051 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.

4055 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
4057 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
4058 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
4060 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
4061 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
4062 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

4066 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low
4068 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
4069 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
4070 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
4071 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
4072 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
4073 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
4074 does not compress. Closes: #41733
4075 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
4077 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.
4079 * Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever.

4121 debhelper (2.0.62) unstable; urgency=low
4123 * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
4124 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
4125 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4126 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4127 I made some changes, though:
4128 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4129 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4130 that is a clear violation of policy.
4131 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4132 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4133 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4134 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4135 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4136 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4137 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4138 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4139 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4141 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4151 debhelper (2.0.60) unstable; urgency=low
4153 * dh_compress: After compressing an executable, changes the file mode to
4154 644. Executable .gz files are silly. Closes: #46383

4158 debhelper (2.0.59) unstable; urgency=low
4160 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
4161 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
4162 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

4180 debhelper (2.0.56) unstable; urgency=low
4182 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
4183 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4184 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4185 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4186 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4187 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4188 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
4189 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

4201 * Enhanced debconf support -- the database is now cleaned up on package
4203 * Broke all debconf support off into a dh_installdebconf script. This
4204 seems conceptually a little cleaner.

4217 don't do anything, rather than crashing.

4223 * dh_installdocs: create the compatability symlink before calling
4224 install-docs. I'm told this is better in some cases. (Closes: #45608)
4225 * examples/rules.multi2: clarified what you have to comment/uncomment.

4248 for the dependancies to be generated.

4264 shouldn't be needed, there may be edge cases (cf bug 44924), where it

4302 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
4304 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
4305 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4306 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4307 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4308 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4309 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4310 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4311 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4312 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4313 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4314 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4315 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4316 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4320 debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
4322 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4323 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4324 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4326 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4327 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4328 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4329 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4330 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4331 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4333 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4334 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4385 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
4386 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
4387 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4388 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4389 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4390 it's always available.

4432 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
4433 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

4490 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4526 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
4527 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
4528 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

4545 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

4654 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4655 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5052 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5053 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5054 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5055 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5058 suidregister actually supports it.
5059 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various

5076 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

5267 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5268 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5269 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5270 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5636 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5637 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5638 past week. Thanks, guys!
5640 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5641 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5642 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5643 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5644 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5645 would do in the same situation.
5646 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5647 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5649 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5651 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5652 permissions changed.
5653 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5654 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5655 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5656 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5657 files are treated identically.
5658 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5671 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5672 use -X multiple times, too.

6021 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6022 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6023 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
6024 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

6036 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
6037 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
6038 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
6039 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6040 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

6049 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

6070 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6071 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6072 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6073 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6074 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6075 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6076 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6151 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6152 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6153 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6154 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6155 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6216 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6217 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6218 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6219 multiple binary packages.
6220 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6221 should rebuild them with this version.

6242 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6243 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6244 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6245 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6246 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6247 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6248 debian/README.debian.
6249 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6250 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6251 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6252 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6253 in a few situations.)

6289 * Multiple binary package support.
6290 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6291 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6292 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6294 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6295 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6296 auto-installed as parameters.
6297 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6299 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6302 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6303 the package build directory it is to act on.
6304 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6305 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6306 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
