1 debhelper (7.9.2) unstable; urgency=low
3 * In v8 mode, stop passing packlist=0 in perl_makemaker buildsystem,
4 since perl_build is tried first. Avoids the makemaker warning message
5 introduced by the fix to #527990.

9 debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
11 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
12 changes are planned for that mode.
13 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
14 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
15 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
16 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
17 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
18 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
19 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
20 (genesis) still uses them.
21 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
22 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
23 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
24 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
25 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
26 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
27 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
28 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
29 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
30 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
31 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
32 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
33 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
34 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
35 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
36 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
37 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
38 commands. (See #570039)
39 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
41 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

48 * Drop one more call to dpkg-architecture. Closes: #580837
50 * Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,
51 in a typical package with no explicit architecture mentions
52 in control file or debhelper config files.

80 debhelper (7.4.16) unstable; urgency=low
82 * Updated French translation.
83 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
84 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
85 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
86 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
88 * Typo. Closes: #571968
89 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
90 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
91 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
92 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
93 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
94 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
95 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
96 * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702
97 * dh: Allow --list-addons to be used when not in a source package.
99 * dh: Improve documentation.

127 * dh_bugfiles: Doc typo. Closes: #563269
128 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
129 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
130 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
131 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
132 options that they do not support.
133 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
134 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
135 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773
136 (It also ensures that the commands dh prints out can really be run.)
137 * qmake: New buildsystem contributed by Kel Modderman. Closes: #566840

179 * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
180 be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
181 some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)

190 * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
191 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop

213 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
214 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
215 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
216 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
217 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
218 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
219 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
220 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
221 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
222 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
223 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
224 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
225 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
226 time soon.) Closes: #554509
227 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).

234 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
235 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
236 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
237 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
239 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
240 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to

273 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
274 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
275 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
276 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
277 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
278 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers

300 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
301 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
302 flag with arch all/any packages.
303 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
304 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
305 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
306 situation. Closes: #540794

464 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
465 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597

467 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
468 that support it. Closes: #480577
469 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
470 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
471 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
473 - Adds support for cmake.
474 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
475 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
477 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
479 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
480 that use them. The options are:
481 --sourcedir, --destdir
482 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
483 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
484 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
485 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
486 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1297 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1298 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1300 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1301 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1302 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

1319 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1320 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1321 script and then remove the python files.
1322 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1323 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1324 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1325 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1326 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1327 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1328 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1329 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1330 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1331 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1458 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1459 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1460 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1461 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1463 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1464 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1465 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3017 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
3018 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
3019 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
3020 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
3021 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
3022 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

3167 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3168 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3169 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3170 dh_install, which ...
3171 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3172 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3173 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3174 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3175 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3176 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3177 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3178 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3179 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3180 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3181 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3182 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3183 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3184 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3185 other minor changes.
3186 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3187 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3188 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3189 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3190 course there's -X ..)
3191 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3192 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3193 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3195 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3196 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3197 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3198 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3199 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3243 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3244 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3245 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3246 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3247 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3274 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3276 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3277 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3278 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3279 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3280 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3281 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3282 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3283 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3284 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3285 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3286 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3287 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3288 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3289 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3290 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3291 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3293 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3307 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
3309 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3310 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3311 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3312 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3313 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3314 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3315 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3328 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3329 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3330 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3331 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3332 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3333 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3334 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3335 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3336 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3512 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3513 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3514 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3515 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3516 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3517 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3518 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3519 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3520 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3521 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3522 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3523 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3524 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3545 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3546 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3547 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3548 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3549 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3550 program those options go to. So, for example,
3551 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3552 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3696 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3697 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3698 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3699 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3756 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3757 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3758 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3759 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3760 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3762 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3763 but is mildly deprecated.
3764 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3765 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3766 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3767 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3768 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3769 switching to statoverrides..
3770 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3771 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3772 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3773 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3774 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3775 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3777 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3778 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3779 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3780 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3781 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3782 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3783 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3784 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3785 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3787 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3788 variable names, pod man pages).
3789 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3790 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3791 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3792 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3793 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3794 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3795 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3961 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3963 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3964 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3966 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3967 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3968 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3970 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3972 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3973 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3974 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4211 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4212 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4213 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4214 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4215 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4216 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4217 notice until v2 is complete.
4218 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4219 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4220 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4221 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4222 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4223 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4225 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4226 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4227 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4440 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

4580 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4581 I made some changes, though:
4582 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4583 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4584 that is a clear violation of policy.
4585 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4586 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4587 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4588 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4589 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4590 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4591 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4592 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4593 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4595 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4763 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4764 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4765 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4766 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4767 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4768 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4769 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4770 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4996 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
4997 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
4998 supported compatibility level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
4999 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

5009 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low
5011 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
5012 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
5013 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
5014 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
5015 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
5016 * debhelper.1: documented this.
5017 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
5018 current compatibility level is equal to that number.
5019 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
5020 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.

5045 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
5046 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
5047 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
5048 more than 1 init script.

5091 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
5092 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
5093 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

5107 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
5108 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5109 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5155 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
5156 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
5157 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5511 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
5512 suidregister actually supports it.
5513 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
5514 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

5527 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
5528 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

5530 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5531 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5532 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
5533 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
5534 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

5719 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5720 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5721 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5722 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5723 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5724 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6089 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6090 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6091 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6092 past week. Thanks, guys!
6094 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6095 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6096 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6097 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6098 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6099 would do in the same situation.
6100 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6101 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6103 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6105 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6106 permissions changed.
6107 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6108 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6109 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6110 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6111 files are treated identically.
6112 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6113 * Minor man page fixes.
6114 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6125 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6126 use -X multiple times, too.
6127 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6128 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6490 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
6491 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
6492 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
6493 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6494 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

6524 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6525 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6526 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6527 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6528 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6529 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6530 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6700 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6701 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6702 debian/README.debian.
6703 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6704 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6705 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6706 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6707 in a few situations.)

6753 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6756 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6757 the package build directory it is to act on.
6758 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6759 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6760 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
