95 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
96 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
98 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
99 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
100 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

102 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537

104 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.

117 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
118 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
119 script and then remove the python files.
120 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
121 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
122 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
123 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
124 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
125 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
126 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
127 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
128 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
129 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

249 * Update of dh_python
250 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
251 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
252 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
253 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
254 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
255 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
256 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
257 specific python version. Closes: #373853
258 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
259 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
261 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
262 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
263 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
264 the not too-distant future).
265 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
266 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

1965 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1966 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1967 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1968 dh_install, which ...
1969 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1970 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1971 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1972 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1973 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1974 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1975 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1976 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1977 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1978 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1979 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1980 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1981 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1982 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1983 other minor changes.
1984 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1985 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1986 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1987 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1988 course there's -X ..)
1989 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1990 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1991 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1993 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1994 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1995 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1996 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1997 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2044 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2045 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2072 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2074 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2075 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2076 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2077 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2078 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2079 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2080 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2081 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2082 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2083 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2084 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2085 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2086 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2087 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2088 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2089 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2091 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2108 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the

2110 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2111 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

2124 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2126 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2127 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2128 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2129 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2130 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2131 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2132 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2133 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2134 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2314 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2315 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2316 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2317 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2318 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2319 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2320 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2345 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2346 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2347 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2348 program those options go to. So, for example,
2349 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2350 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2552 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2554 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2555 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2556 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2557 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2558 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2559 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2560 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2561 but is mildly deprecated.
2562 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2563 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2564 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2565 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2566 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2567 switching to statoverrides..
2568 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2569 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2570 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2571 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2572 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2573 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2575 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2576 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2577 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2578 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2579 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2580 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2581 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2582 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2583 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2585 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2586 variable names, pod man pages).
2587 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2588 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2589 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2590 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2591 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2592 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2593 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2665 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2666 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2668 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2669 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.

2759 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2761 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2762 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2764 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2765 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2766 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2768 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

2771 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2772 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3009 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3010 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3011 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3012 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3013 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3014 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3015 notice until v2 is complete.
3016 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3017 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3018 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3019 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3020 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3021 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3147 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3148 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3150 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3151 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3152 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3153 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3154 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3236 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3237 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3238 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3239 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3240 bits until all files have been registered.

3249 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3250 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3251 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3252 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3253 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3254 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3255 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3256 otherwise change the result at all.
3258 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3259 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3260 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3278 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3279 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3281 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3282 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to

3378 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3379 I made some changes, though:
3380 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3381 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3382 that is a clear violation of policy.
3383 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3384 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3385 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3386 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3387 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3388 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3389 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3390 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3391 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3393 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3437 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3438 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3439 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3554 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
3556 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3557 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3558 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3559 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3560 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3561 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3562 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3563 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3564 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3565 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3566 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3567 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3568 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3572 debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3574 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3575 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3576 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3578 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3579 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3580 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3581 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3582 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3583 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3585 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3586 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3639 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3640 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3641 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
3642 it's always available.

4060 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
4061 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
4062 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
4063 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

4091 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of

4276 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4277 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4278 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4279 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

4302 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
4304 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4305 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4306 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4307 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4308 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4309 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4310 suidregister actually supports it.
4311 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4312 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4325 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4326 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4327 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4328 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4329 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4330 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

4332 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4360 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4361 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not

4363 effect, either. (#30118)

4517 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4518 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4519 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4520 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4521 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4522 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4558 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4559 sections of shared libraries.
4560 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4561 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4562 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4563 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4564 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4565 things you don't want them to.
4566 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4567 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4626 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4627 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4628 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4629 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4630 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4631 I apologize for the inconvenience.

4634 remove debian/files properly.
4635 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

4702 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4703 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4704 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4705 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4706 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4889 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4890 past week. Thanks, guys!
4892 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4893 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4894 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4895 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4896 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4897 would do in the same situation.

4899 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4901 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4903 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4904 permissions changed.
4905 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4906 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4907 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4908 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4909 files are treated identically.

5052 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
5053 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
5054 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
5055 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
5056 no packages use the old behavior.

5062 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
5063 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was

5186 argument processor in perl.
5187 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
5188 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,

5197 type directories. (#16933)
5198 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
5199 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5200 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5201 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5202 are supported. (#16935)
5203 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5217 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
5219 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
5220 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5221 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5222 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5223 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
5224 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

5228 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
5230 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5231 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5232 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5234 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5235 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5236 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5237 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5238 a given package, or -i or -a.
5239 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5240 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5241 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5242 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5243 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5244 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5245 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5246 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5247 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5249 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5250 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5251 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5271 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
5273 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5274 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5275 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
5276 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

5288 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
5289 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
5290 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
5291 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863

5300 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
5301 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
5302 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
5303 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

5320 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
5322 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5323 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5324 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5325 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5326 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5327 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5328 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5403 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5404 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5405 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5406 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5407 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5503 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper

5540 * Added man pages for all commands.
5541 * Multiple binary package support.
5542 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5543 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5544 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5546 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5547 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5548 auto-installed as parameters.
5549 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5551 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5554 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5555 the package build directory it is to act on.
5556 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5557 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5558 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
