11 debhelper (5.0.37) unstable; urgency=low
13 * dh_installmodules: depmod -a is no longer run during boot, so if a module
14 package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
15 running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
16 depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>
17 The kernel version is guessed at based on the path to the modules in the
18 package. Closes: #301424
19 * dh_installxfonts: In postrm, run the deregistraton code even on upgrade,
20 in case an upgrade involves moving fonts around (or removing or renaming
21 fonts). Closes: #372686

28 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installxfonts
31 * Remove old alternate dependency on fileutils. Closes: #370011
32 * Patch from Guillem Jover to make --same-arch handling code support
33 the new form of architecture wildcarding which allows use of things
34 like "linux-any" and "any-i386" in the Architecture field. Closes: #371082
35 * Needs dpkg-dev 1.13.13 for dpkg-architecture -s support needed by
36 above, but already depends on that.

42 * dh_installman: When --language is used, be smarter about stripping
43 language codes from man page filenames. Only strip things that look like
44 codes that match the specified languages. Closes: #366645
45 * dh_installxfonts: /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7 is deprecated, back to looking in
46 old location, and not passing --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-alias and
47 update-fonts-scale (but still to update-fonts-dir). Closes: #366234

71 before udev is installed. Closes: #363307

78 * Update french translation with recents changes in dh_installxfonts,
79 dh_link and dh_compress manpages
80 * Delete -f option in po4a command line. Bug in po4a has been corrected in
82 * Change build-depends for po4a. New version (0.24.1).
83 * Add code for removing empty "lang" directories into man/ when cleaning.
86 * dh_installxfonts: pass --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-* commands to ensure
87 they use the right new directory. Closes: #362820
88 * dh_installxfonts: also, alias files have moved from /etc/X11/fonts/* to
89 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page
90 accordingly; packages containing alias files will need to switch to the
91 new directory on their own.
92 * dh_installudev: correct documentation for --name. Closes: #363028
93 * Fix broken directory removal code.

97 debhelper (5.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
99 * Convert the "I have no packages to build" error into a warning. Am I
100 really the first person to run into the case of a source package that
101 builds an arch all package and an single-arch package? In this case,
102 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some
103 other arch, and debhelper will now support this.

107 debhelper (5.0.29) unstable; urgency=low
109 * dh_installxfonts: Random hack to deal with X font dirs moving to
110 /usr/share/fonts/X11/ -- look there for fonts as well as in the old
111 location, although the old location probably won't be seen by X anymore.
112 * dh_installxfonts: Generate misc:Depends on new xfonts-utils.
113 * dh_compress: compress pcm fonts under usr/share/fonts/X11/
114 * dh_link: change example that used X11R6 directory.

140 * dh_installinit: Fix badly generated code in maint scripts that used
141 || exit 0 instead of the intended
143 due to a bad shell expansion and caused invoke-rc.d errors to be
144 ignored. Closes: #337664

162 [ vperrin forgot to add this to the changelog when committing ]
163 * Update pot file and french translation with recent changes in
164 the dh_installdebconf manpage
165 * Add -f option to force .pot file re-building. This is in waiting
166 a patch, correcting a bug in po4a_0.23.1
167 * Add --rm-backups in clean: Otherwise ll.po~ are included in the
168 source package. (see debhelper_5.0.22.tar.gz)

174 * dh_strip: remove binutils build-dep lines since stable has a new enough
175 version. Closes: #350607
176 * dh_installdebconf: drop all support for old-style translated debconf
177 templates files via debconf-mergetemplate (keep a warning if any are
178 found, for now). Allows dropping debhelper's dependency on
179 debconf-utils. Closes: #331796

183 debhelper (5.0.22) unstable; urgency=low
185 * dh_makeshlibs: add support for adding udeb: lines to shlibs file
186 via --add-udeb parameter. Closes: #345471
187 * dh_shlibdeps: pass -tudeb to dpkg-shlibdeps for udebs. Closes: #345472

208 language guessing. Closes: #193221

212 debhelper (5.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
214 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
215 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
216 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
217 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
218 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
219 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
220 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

224 debhelper (5.0.17) unstable; urgency=low
226 * dh_python: Temporarily revert change in 5.0.13 to make use of
227 python-support for packages providing private modules or python-only
228 modules, since python policy hasn't been updated for this yet.

240 debhelper (5.0.15) unstable; urgency=low

247 debhelper (5.0.14) unstable; urgency=low
249 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
250 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
251 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
252 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
253 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
254 * -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
255 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

266 * dh_link: add special case handling for link to /
269 * dh_python: make use of python-support for packages providing private
270 modules or python-only modules. This should greatly reduce the
271 number of packages needing to transition together with python.
272 * postinst-python: don't build the .pyo files, they aren't even used!
273 * dh_gconf: add support for debian/package.gconf-defaults, to provide
274 defaults for a package without patching the schemas.

368 debhelper (5.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
370 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
371 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
372 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
373 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
374 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.
375 * debhelper.1: Explicitly document that docs describe latest compat
376 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the
377 "Debhelper compatibility levels" section of debhelper.1. Closes: #336906

509 still being determined, and will be until debhelper version 5.0 is

511 * dh_strip: In v5, make --dbg-package specify a single debugging package

525 including twice per config file line now..

527 and simplfy the rules file.

1696 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1697 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1698 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1699 dh_install, which ...
1700 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1701 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1702 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1703 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1704 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1705 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1706 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1707 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1708 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1709 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1710 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1711 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1712 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1713 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1714 other minor changes.
1715 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1716 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1717 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1718 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1719 course there's -X ..)
1720 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1721 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1722 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1724 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1725 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1726 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1727 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1728 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1772 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1773 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1775 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1776 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1803 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1805 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1806 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1807 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1808 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1809 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1810 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1811 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1812 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1813 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1814 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1815 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1816 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1817 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1818 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1819 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1820 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1822 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1840 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1841 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1842 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1855 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1857 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1858 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1859 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1860 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1861 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1862 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1863 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1864 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1865 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2049 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2050 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2051 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2052 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2053 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2071 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2073 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2074 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2075 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2076 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2077 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2078 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2079 program those options go to. So, for example,
2080 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2081 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2082 something complex. Closes: #89311

2114 already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings

2220 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
2221 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
2222 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2223 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2224 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2225 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2226 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2227 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2228 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2229 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2230 Closes: #88464, #77743
2231 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2232 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2233 us to deal with that gracefully.

2269 * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current

2283 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2285 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2286 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2287 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2288 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2289 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2290 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2291 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2292 but is mildly deprecated.
2293 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2294 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2295 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2296 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2297 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2298 switching to statoverrides..
2299 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2300 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2301 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2302 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2303 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2304 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2306 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2307 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2308 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2309 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2310 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2311 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2312 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2313 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2314 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2316 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2317 variable names, pod man pages).
2318 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2319 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2320 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2321 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2322 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2323 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2324 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2396 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2397 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2398 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2399 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2400 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2401 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

2490 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2491 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2492 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2493 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2495 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2496 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2497 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2499 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2501 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2502 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2503 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2547 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2548 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2549 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2561 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2562 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on

2564 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2565 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2740 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2741 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2742 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2743 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2744 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2745 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2746 notice until v2 is complete.
2747 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2748 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2749 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2750 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2751 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2752 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2754 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2755 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2756 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2969 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3053 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3054 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

3109 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3110 I made some changes, though:
3111 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3112 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3113 that is a clear violation of policy.
3114 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3115 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3116 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3117 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3118 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3119 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3120 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3121 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3122 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3124 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3292 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3293 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3294 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3295 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3296 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3297 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3298 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3299 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3574 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
3575 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3576 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3577 more than 1 init script.

3620 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3621 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3622 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3637 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3638 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3684 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)

3686 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4248 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4249 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4250 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4251 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4252 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4253 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4618 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4619 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4620 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4621 past week. Thanks, guys!
4623 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4624 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4625 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4626 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4627 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4628 would do in the same situation.
4629 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4630 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4632 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4634 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4635 permissions changed.
4636 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4637 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4638 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4639 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4640 files are treated identically.
4641 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4642 * Minor man page fixes.
4643 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4645 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4654 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4655 use -X multiple times, too.
4656 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

5053 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5054 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5055 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5056 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5057 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5058 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5059 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5079 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
5080 the dh_* programs (#15497).
5081 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

5108 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

5133 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5134 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5135 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5136 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5137 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5138 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5190 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5191 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5192 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5193 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5197 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5199 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5200 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5201 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5202 multiple binary packages.
5203 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5204 should rebuild them with this version.
5205 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5223 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5225 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5226 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5227 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5228 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5229 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5230 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5231 debian/README.debian.
5232 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5233 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5234 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5235 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5236 in a few situations.)

5267 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5269 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5270 is ready for general use.
5271 * Added man pages for all commands.
5272 * Multiple binary package support.
5273 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5274 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5275 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5277 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5278 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5279 auto-installed as parameters.
5280 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5282 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5285 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5286 the package build directory it is to act on.
5287 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5288 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5289 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
