21 debhelper (5.0.57) unstable; urgency=low
23 * Add --ignore option. This is intended to ease dealing with upstream
24 tarballs that contain debian directories, by allowing debhelper config
25 files in those directories to be ignored, since there's generally no
26 good way to delete them out of the upstream tarball, and they can easily
27 get in the way if upstream is using debian/ differently than the Debian

76 * dh_icons: New program to update Freedesktop icon caches. Thanks
77 to Josselin Mouette, Ross Burton, Jordi Mallach, and Loïc Minier.
79 * Note that as a transitional measure, dh_icons will currently only update
80 existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is
81 updating the icon caches, this will be changed. See #329460 for the full
83 * Remove possibly confusing (though strictly accurate) sentence from
84 dh_installdirs.1. Closes: #429318

92 usr/X11R6/bin now points to there.
93 * Update urls to web page.
94 * Add some checks for attempts to act on packages not defined in the control
96 * Use dpkg-query to retrieve conffile info in udev rules upgrade code
97 rather than parsing status directly. (Thanks Guillem)

104 - man page handling was supposed to be v6 only and was not
105 - typo in alternatives call
106 - use the basename of the wm to get the man page name
108 * dh_installwm: Also make the code to find the man page more robust and
109 fall back to not registering a man page if it is not found.

133 debhelper (5.0.45) unstable; urgency=low
135 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
136 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
138 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
139 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
140 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
141 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
142 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
143 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
144 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
145 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
146 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
147 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
148 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

154 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
155 package install. Closes: #415717
156 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
157 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
158 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
159 script and then remove the python files.
160 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
161 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
162 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
163 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
164 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
165 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
166 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
167 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
168 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
169 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
170 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
171 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
172 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

188 Closes: #406921, #381940

191 * Man page improvements. Closes: #406707
192 * dh_installdocs: In v5 mode, now ignore empty files even if they're hidden
193 away inside a subdirectory. The code missed this before. See #200905
194 * dh_installudev: Support debian/udev files. Closes: #381854
195 * dh_installudev: Treat --priority value as a string so that leading zeros
196 can be used (also so that a leading "z" that is not "z60" can be
197 specified). Closes: #381851
198 * Misc minor changes.

224 * Tighten python-support and python-central dependencies of debhelper,
225 in an IMHO rather futile attempt to deal with derived distributions.
227 * Correct some incorrect instances of "v4 only" in docs. Closes: #381536
228 * dh_installinfo: Put the section madness to bed by not passing any section
229 information to install-info. Current install-info parses INFO-DIR-SECTION
230 on its own if that's not specified. Closes: #337215

253 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installmodules
256 * ACK last three NMUs with thanks to Raphael Hertzog for making the best of
257 a difficult situation.
258 * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
259 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
260 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
261 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
262 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
263 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
264 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
265 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
266 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
267 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

275 - when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
276 reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y"
278 - fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948
279 - fix parsing of XS-Python-Version, it didn't work if only fixed versions
280 were listed in XS-Python-Version.

286 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
288 * Non-maintainer upload.
289 * Update of dh_python
290 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
291 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
292 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
293 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
294 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
295 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
296 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
297 specific python version. Closes: #373853
298 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
299 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
301 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
302 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
303 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
304 the not too-distant future).
305 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
306 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
307 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
308 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
309 thus made the build fail.

322 * dh_installmodules: depmod -a is no longer run during boot, so if a module
323 package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
324 running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
325 depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>

342 the new form of architecture wildcarding which allows use of things
343 like "linux-any" and "any-i386" in the Architecture field. Closes: #371082

526 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
527 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
528 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
529 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

683 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2006 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2007 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2008 dh_install, which ...
2009 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2010 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2011 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2012 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2013 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2014 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2015 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2016 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2017 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2018 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2019 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2020 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2021 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2022 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2023 other minor changes.
2024 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2025 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.

2081 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2082 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2083 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2084 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2085 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2112 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2114 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2115 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2116 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2117 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2118 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2119 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2120 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2121 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2122 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2123 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2124 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2125 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2126 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2127 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2128 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2129 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2131 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2166 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2167 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2168 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2169 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2170 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2171 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2172 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2173 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2174 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2355 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2356 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2357 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2358 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2359 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2360 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2386 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2387 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2388 program those options go to. So, for example,
2389 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2592 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2594 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2595 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2596 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2597 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2598 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2599 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2600 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2601 but is mildly deprecated.
2602 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2603 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2604 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2605 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2606 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2607 switching to statoverrides..
2608 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2609 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2610 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2611 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2612 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2613 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2615 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2616 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2617 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2618 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2619 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2620 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2621 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2622 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2623 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2625 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2626 variable names, pod man pages).
2627 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2628 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2629 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2630 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2631 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2632 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2633 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2705 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2706 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2708 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2799 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2800 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2801 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2802 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2804 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2805 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2806 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2808 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

2811 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2812 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2857 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3049 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3050 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3051 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3052 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3053 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3054 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3055 notice until v2 is complete.
3056 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3057 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3058 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3059 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3060 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3061 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3063 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3064 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3065 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3066 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3187 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3188 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3190 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3191 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3192 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3193 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

3276 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3277 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3278 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3279 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3280 bits until all files have been registered.

3290 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3291 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3292 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3293 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3294 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3295 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3296 otherwise change the result at all.
3298 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3299 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3300 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3419 I made some changes, though:
3420 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3421 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3422 that is a clear violation of policy.
3423 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3424 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3425 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3426 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3427 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3428 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3429 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3430 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3431 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3433 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3597 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3598 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3599 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3600 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3601 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3602 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3603 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3604 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3605 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3606 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3607 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3608 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3615 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3616 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3618 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3619 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3620 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3621 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3622 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3623 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4556 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4557 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4558 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4559 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4560 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4561 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4562 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5036 fixes to the changelog, though - too many, and a changelog isn't meant
5037 to be changed after the fact :-)
5038 * dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from .la files genrated by libtool.

5068 installs symlink man pages from the source package (#19831).

5090 debhelper (0.71) unstable; urgency=low
5092 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
5093 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
5094 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
5095 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
5096 no packages use the old behavior.

5102 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
5103 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was

5168 inspired to implement some of it.

5188 debhelper (0.59) unstable; urgency=low
5190 * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without
5191 actually doing anything. (Combine with -v to see what the command would

5211 to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.

5215 debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low
5217 * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077
5218 * Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion,
5219 to some of the sample rules files. #17076

5225 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
5226 argument processor in perl.
5227 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
5228 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
5229 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")

5236 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
5237 type directories. (#16933)
5238 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
5239 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5240 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5241 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5242 are supported. (#16935)
5243 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5257 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
5259 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
5260 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5261 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5262 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5263 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
5264 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

5268 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
5270 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5271 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5272 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5274 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5275 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5276 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5277 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5278 a given package, or -i or -a.
5279 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5280 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5281 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5282 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5283 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5284 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5285 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5286 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5287 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5289 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5290 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5291 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5311 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
5313 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5314 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5315 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
5316 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

5328 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
5329 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
5330 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
5331 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
5332 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

5340 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
5341 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
5342 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
5343 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

5360 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
5362 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5363 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5364 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5365 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5366 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5367 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5368 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5444 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.

5539 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5540 debian/README.debian.
5541 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5542 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5543 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5544 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5545 in a few situations.)

5576 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5578 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5579 is ready for general use.
5580 * Added man pages for all commands.
5581 * Multiple binary package support.
5582 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5583 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5584 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5586 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5587 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5588 auto-installed as parameters.
5589 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5591 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5594 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5595 the package build directory it is to act on.
5596 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5597 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5598 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
