22 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
23 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
24 while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default

79 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
80 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
81 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
82 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
83 logging by dh_listpackages.

504 * Update french translation with recents changes in dh_link and

509 ISO-8859-15. Closes: #397953

516 * dh_installchangelogs man page typo. Closes: #393155
519 * Encoding french translation from charset ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8
520 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installchangelogs
523 * Tighten python-support and python-central dependencies of debhelper,
524 in an IMHO rather futile attempt to deal with derived distributions.
526 * Correct some incorrect instances of "v4 only" in docs. Closes: #381536
527 * dh_installinfo: Put the section madness to bed by not passing any section
528 information to install-info. Current install-info parses INFO-DIR-SECTION
529 on its own if that's not specified. Closes: #337215

549 debhelper (5.0.38) unstable; urgency=low
552 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installmodules
555 * ACK last three NMUs with thanks to Raphael Hertzog for making the best of
556 a difficult situation.
557 * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
558 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
559 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
560 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
561 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
562 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
563 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
564 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
565 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
566 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

570 debhelper (5.0.37.3) unstable; urgency=low
572 * Non-maintainer upload.
573 * Update of dh_python
574 - when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
575 reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y"
577 - fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948
578 - fix parsing of XS-Python-Version, it didn't work if only fixed versions
579 were listed in XS-Python-Version.
580 - fix use of unitialized value. Closes: #374776
581 - fix typos in POD documentation. Closes: #375936

585 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
587 * Non-maintainer upload.
588 * Update of dh_python
589 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
590 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
591 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
592 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
593 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
594 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
595 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
596 specific python version. Closes: #373853
597 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
598 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
600 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
601 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
602 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
603 the not too-distant future).
604 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
605 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
606 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
607 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
608 thus made the build fail.

619 debhelper (5.0.37) unstable; urgency=low
621 * dh_installmodules: depmod -a is no longer run during boot, so if a module
622 package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
623 running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
624 depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>
625 The kernel version is guessed at based on the path to the modules in the
626 package. Closes: #301424
627 * dh_installxfonts: In postrm, run the deregistraton code even on upgrade,
628 in case an upgrade involves moving fonts around (or removing or renaming
629 fonts). Closes: #372686

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

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

679 before udev is installed. Closes: #363307

686 * Update french translation with recents changes in dh_installxfonts,
687 dh_link and dh_compress manpages
688 * Delete -f option in po4a command line. Bug in po4a has been corrected in
689 new version (0.24.1).
690 * Change build-depends for po4a. New version (0.24.1).
691 * Add code for removing empty "lang" directories into man/ when cleaning.
694 * dh_installxfonts: pass --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-* commands to ensure
695 they use the right new directory. Closes: #362820
696 * dh_installxfonts: also, alias files have moved from /etc/X11/fonts/* to
697 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page
698 accordingly; packages containing alias files will need to switch to the
699 new directory on their own.
700 * dh_installudev: correct documentation for --name. Closes: #363028
701 * Fix broken directory removal code.

707 * Convert the "I have no packages to build" error into a warning. Am I
708 really the first person to run into the case of a source package that
709 builds an arch all package and an single-arch package? In this case,
710 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some
711 other arch, and debhelper will now support this.

718 /usr/share/fonts/X11/ -- look there for fonts as well as in the old
719 location, although the old location probably won't be seen by X anymore.
720 * dh_installxfonts: Generate misc:Depends on new xfonts-utils.

748 * dh_installinit: Fix badly generated code in maint scripts that used
749 || exit 0 instead of the intended

774 a patch, correcting a bug in po4a_0.23.1

783 version. Closes: #350607
784 * dh_installdebconf: drop all support for old-style translated debconf
785 templates files via debconf-mergetemplate (keep a warning if any are
786 found, for now). Allows dropping debhelper's dependency on
787 debconf-utils. Closes: #331796

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

857 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
858 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
859 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
860 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
861 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980

863 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

878 modules or python-only modules. This should greatly reduce the
879 number of packages needing to transition together with python.
880 * postinst-python: don't build the .pyo files, they aren't even used!
881 * dh_gconf: add support for debian/package.gconf-defaults, to provide

978 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
979 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
980 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
981 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
982 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2304 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2305 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2306 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2307 dh_install, which ...
2308 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2309 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2310 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2311 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2312 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2313 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2314 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2315 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2316 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2317 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2318 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2319 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2320 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2321 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2322 other minor changes.
2323 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2324 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2325 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2326 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2327 course there's -X ..)
2328 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2329 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2330 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2332 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2333 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2334 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2335 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2336 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2381 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2382 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2383 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2384 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2411 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2413 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2414 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2415 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2416 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2417 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2418 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2419 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2420 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2421 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2422 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2423 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2424 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2425 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2426 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2427 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2428 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2430 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2447 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2448 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2449 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2450 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

2465 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2466 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2467 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2468 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2469 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2470 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2471 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2472 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2473 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2649 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2650 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2651 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2652 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2653 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2654 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2655 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2656 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2657 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2658 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2659 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2661 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2683 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2684 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2685 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2686 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2687 program those options go to. So, for example,
2688 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2689 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2831 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2832 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2833 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2834 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2835 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2836 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2837 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2893 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2894 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2895 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2896 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2897 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2898 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2899 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2900 but is mildly deprecated.
2901 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2902 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2903 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2904 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2905 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2906 switching to statoverrides..
2907 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2908 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2909 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2910 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2911 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2912 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2914 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2915 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2916 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2917 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2918 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2919 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2920 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2921 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2922 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2924 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2925 variable names, pod man pages).
2926 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2927 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2928 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2929 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2930 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2931 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2932 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3095 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3096 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3097 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3098 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3099 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3100 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3101 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3103 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3104 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3105 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3107 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3109 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3110 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3111 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3112 should now be raised to severity important..
3113 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3114 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3156 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3348 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3349 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3350 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3351 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3352 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3353 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3354 notice until v2 is complete.
3355 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3356 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3357 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3358 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3359 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3360 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3362 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3573 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3574 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3575 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3576 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3577 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3578 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3579 bits until all files have been registered.

3588 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3589 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3590 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3591 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3592 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3593 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3594 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3595 otherwise change the result at all.
3597 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3598 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3599 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3617 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3618 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3620 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3621 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3622 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3623 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3717 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3718 I made some changes, though:
3719 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3720 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3721 that is a clear violation of policy.
3722 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3723 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3724 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3725 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3726 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3727 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3728 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3729 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3730 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3732 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3776 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3777 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3778 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3896 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3897 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3898 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3899 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3900 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3901 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3902 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3903 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3904 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3905 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3906 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3907 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3917 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3919 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3920 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3921 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3922 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4151 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4152 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

4245 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4246 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4858 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4859 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4860 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5035 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
5036 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5037 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5038 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5039 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5040 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5041 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5042 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5043 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5044 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5045 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5046 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5047 passed any switches.

5228 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5229 past week. Thanks, guys!
5231 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5232 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5233 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5234 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5235 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5236 would do in the same situation.
5237 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5238 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5240 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5242 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5243 permissions changed.
5244 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5245 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5246 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5247 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5248 files are treated identically.
5249 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5262 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5263 use -X multiple times, too.
5264 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5265 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5541 are supported. (#16935)

5574 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5575 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5576 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5577 a given package, or -i or -a.
5578 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5579 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5580 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5581 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5582 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5583 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5585 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5663 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5664 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5665 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
