1073 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
1074 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
1075 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
1076 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
1077 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
1078 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

1223 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1224 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1225 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1226 dh_install, which ...
1227 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1228 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1229 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1230 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1231 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1232 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1233 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1234 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1235 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1236 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1237 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1238 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1239 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1240 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1241 other minor changes.
1242 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1243 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1244 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1245 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1246 course there's -X ..)
1247 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1248 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1249 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1251 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1252 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1253 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1254 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1255 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1299 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1300 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1301 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1302 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1303 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1330 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1332 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1333 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1334 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1335 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1336 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1337 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1338 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1339 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1340 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1341 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1342 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1343 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1344 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1345 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1346 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1347 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1349 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1366 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1367 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1368 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1369 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1370 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

1382 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1384 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1385 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1386 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1387 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1388 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1389 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1390 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1391 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1392 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1566 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1568 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1569 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1570 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1571 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1572 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1573 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1574 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1575 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1576 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1577 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1578 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1579 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1580 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1600 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1601 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1602 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1603 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1604 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1605 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1606 program those options go to. So, for example,
1607 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1608 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1750 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1751 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1752 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1753 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1754 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1755 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1756 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1810 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1812 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1813 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1814 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1815 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1816 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1817 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1818 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1819 but is mildly deprecated.
1820 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1821 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1822 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1823 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1824 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1825 switching to statoverrides..
1826 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1827 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1828 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1829 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1830 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1831 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1833 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1834 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1835 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1836 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1837 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1838 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1839 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1840 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1841 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1843 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1844 variable names, pod man pages).
1845 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1846 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1847 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1848 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1849 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1850 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1851 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2022 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2023 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2024 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2026 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2028 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2029 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2030 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2031 should now be raised to severity important..
2032 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2033 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2073 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2074 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2075 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2076 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2091 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2092 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2201 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

2267 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2268 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2269 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2270 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2271 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2272 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2273 notice until v2 is complete.
2274 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2275 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2276 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2277 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2278 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2279 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2281 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2282 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2283 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2284 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2405 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2406 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2408 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2411 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2495 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2496 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2497 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2498 bits until all files have been registered.

2510 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2542 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2637 I made some changes, though:
2638 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2639 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2640 that is a clear violation of policy.
2641 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2642 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2643 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2644 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2645 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2646 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2647 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2648 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2649 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2651 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2819 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2820 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2821 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2822 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2823 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2824 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2825 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

3560 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
3562 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3563 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3564 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3565 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
3566 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
3567 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
3568 suidregister actually supports it.
3569 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
3570 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

3581 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
3583 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
3584 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
3585 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
3586 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3587 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3588 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3589 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
3590 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

3603 * dh_makeshlibs: relaxed regexp to find library name and number a little so
3604 it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their
3605 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

3617 * dh_installdocs: behavior change: all docs are now installed mode 644.
3618 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3619 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
3620 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
3621 effect, either. (#30118)

3633 * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that
3634 dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can
3635 also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps.

3649 that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly.

3745 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3746 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3747 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
3748 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

3755 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3756 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3757 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3758 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3759 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3773 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3774 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3775 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3776 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3777 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3778 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3779 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3780 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3816 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3817 sections of shared libraries.
3818 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3819 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3820 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3821 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3822 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3823 things you don't want them to.
3824 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3825 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3852 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
3853 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
3854 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
3855 the program to not fail. (#26214)

3884 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3885 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3886 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3887 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3888 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3889 I apologize for the inconvenience.

3945 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

3962 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3963 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3964 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4089 * dh_fixperms: applied patch from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
4090 to fix bad uses of the find command, so it should now work on packages
4091 with files with spaces in them (#22005). It's also much cleaner. Thanks,

4145 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4146 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4147 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4148 past week. Thanks, guys!
4150 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4151 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4152 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4153 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4154 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4155 would do in the same situation.
4156 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4157 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4159 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4161 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4162 permissions changed.
4163 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4164 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4165 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4166 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4167 files are treated identically.
4168 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4169 * Minor man page fixes.
4170 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4171 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4172 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4178 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4179 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4180 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4181 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4182 use -X multiple times, too.
4183 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4184 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4205 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
4206 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4207 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4208 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4209 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4210 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
4211 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
4212 shape if you're starting a new package.

4225 * Generate symlinks in build stage of debian/rules. cvs cannot create them

4237 debhelper (0.80) unstable; urgency=low
4239 * Moved under cvs (so I can fork a stable and an unstable version).
4240 * dh_movefiles: first move real files, then move symlinks. (#18220)
4241 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4242 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4243 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
4244 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
4246 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.

4253 * More spelling fixes from Christian T. Steigies. (I ignored the spelling
4254 fixes to the changelog, though - too many, and a changelog isn't meant
4255 to be changed after the fact :-)

4310 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
4311 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
4312 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
4313 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
4314 no packages use the old behavior.

4374 * debian/rules: removed dh_du call.

4489 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4493 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4494 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4495 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4496 a given package, or -i or -a.
4497 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4498 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4499 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4500 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4501 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4502 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4503 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4504 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4531 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4532 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4533 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
4534 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

4546 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
4547 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
4548 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
4549 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
4550 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789
4551 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files,

4558 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
4559 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
4560 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
4561 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

4580 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4581 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4582 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4583 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4584 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4585 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4586 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4607 the dh_* programs (#15497).

4661 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4662 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4663 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4664 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4665 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4726 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4727 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4728 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4729 multiple binary packages.
4730 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4731 should rebuild them with this version.
4732 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4750 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4752 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4753 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4754 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4755 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4756 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4757 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4758 debian/README.debian.
4759 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4760 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4761 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4762 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4763 in a few situations.)

4796 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4797 is ready for general use.
4798 * Added man pages for all commands.
4799 * Multiple binary package support.
4800 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4801 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4802 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4804 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4805 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4806 auto-installed as parameters.
4807 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4809 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4812 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4813 the package build directory it is to act on.
4814 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4815 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4816 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
