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

37 * Non-maintainer upload.
39 - when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
40 reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y"
42 - fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948
43 - fix parsing of XS-Python-Version, it didn't work if only fixed versions
44 were listed in XS-Python-Version.

50 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
52 * Non-maintainer upload.
54 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
55 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
56 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
57 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
58 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
59 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
60 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
61 specific python version. Closes: #373853
62 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
63 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
65 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
66 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
67 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
68 the not too-distant future).
69 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
70 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
71 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
72 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
73 thus made the build fail.

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

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

155 * Change build-depends for po4a. New version (0.24.1).
156 * Add code for removing empty "lang" directories into man/ when cleaning.
159 * dh_installxfonts: pass --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-* commands to ensure
160 they use the right new directory. Closes: #362820
161 * dh_installxfonts: also, alias files have moved from /etc/X11/fonts/* to
162 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page
163 accordingly; packages containing alias files will need to switch to the

175 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some

288 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
289 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
290 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
291 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are

324 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
325 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

447 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1770 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1771 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1772 dh_install, which ...
1773 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1774 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1775 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1776 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1777 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1778 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1779 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1780 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1781 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1782 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1783 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1784 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1785 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1786 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1787 other minor changes.
1788 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1789 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1790 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1791 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1792 course there's -X ..)
1793 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1794 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1797 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1798 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1876 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1878 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1879 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1880 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1881 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1882 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1883 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1884 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1885 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1886 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1887 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1888 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1889 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1890 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1891 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1892 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1893 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1895 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1930 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1931 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1932 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1933 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1934 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1935 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1936 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1937 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1938 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2112 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2114 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2115 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2116 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2117 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2118 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2119 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2120 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2121 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2122 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2123 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2124 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2125 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2126 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2144 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2146 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2147 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2148 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2149 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2150 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2151 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2152 program those options go to. So, for example,
2153 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2154 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2155 something complex. Closes: #89311

2293 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

2295 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2296 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2297 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2298 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2299 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2300 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2301 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2302 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2303 Closes: #88464, #77743

2356 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2358 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2359 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2360 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2361 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2362 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2363 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2364 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2365 but is mildly deprecated.
2366 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2367 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2368 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2369 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2370 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2371 switching to statoverrides..
2372 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2373 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2374 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2375 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2376 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2377 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2379 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2380 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2381 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2382 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2383 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2384 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2385 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2386 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2387 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2389 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2390 variable names, pod man pages).
2391 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2392 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2393 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2394 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2395 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2396 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2397 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2469 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2470 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2531 * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
2532 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
2533 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
2534 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain
2535 files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just
2536 to be sure. Closes: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249

2550 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
2551 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
2552 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
2553 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
2554 backwards-compatability.

2560 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2561 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2562 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2563 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2564 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2565 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2566 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2568 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2569 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2570 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2572 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2574 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2575 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2576 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2577 should now be raised to severity important..
2578 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2579 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2619 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2620 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2621 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2622 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2635 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2636 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2637 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2638 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2639 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2747 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

2813 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2814 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2815 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2816 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2817 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2818 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2819 notice until v2 is complete.
2820 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2821 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2822 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2823 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2824 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2825 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2827 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2828 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2829 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3039 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3040 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3041 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3042 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3050 * dh_installmanpages:
3051 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
3052 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
3053 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3054 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3055 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3056 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3057 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3058 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3059 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3060 otherwise change the result at all.
3062 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3063 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3064 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3065 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3082 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3083 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3085 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3086 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3087 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3088 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3181 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3182 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3183 I made some changes, though:
3184 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3185 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3186 that is a clear violation of policy.
3187 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3188 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3189 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3190 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3191 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3192 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3193 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3194 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3195 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3197 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3239 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3240 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3241 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3242 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3243 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3244 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3245 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3361 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3362 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3363 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3364 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3365 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3366 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3367 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3368 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3369 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3370 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3371 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3372 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3382 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3383 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3384 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3385 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3386 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3387 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3545 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3546 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3548 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3616 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3617 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3693 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3694 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3695 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3710 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3711 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3759 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3761 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

4071 still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can
4072 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
4073 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages
4074 built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt.

4080 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4081 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4082 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4083 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

4108 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4109 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4110 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4111 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4112 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4113 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4114 suidregister actually supports it.
4115 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4116 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4129 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4130 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4131 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4132 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4133 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4134 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4135 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4136 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4164 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4165 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
4166 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any

4303 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4304 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4305 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4320 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4321 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4322 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4323 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4324 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4325 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4326 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4365 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4366 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4367 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to

4562 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4691 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4692 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4693 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4694 past week. Thanks, guys!
4696 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4697 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4698 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4699 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4700 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4701 would do in the same situation.
4702 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4703 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4705 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4707 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4708 permissions changed.
4709 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4710 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4711 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4712 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4713 files are treated identically.
4714 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4715 * Minor man page fixes.
4716 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4727 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4728 use -X multiple times, too.

5035 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5036 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5038 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5039 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5040 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5041 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5042 a given package, or -i or -a.
5043 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5044 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5045 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5046 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5047 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5048 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5049 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5050 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5051 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5053 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5054 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5055 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5077 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5078 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5079 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

5126 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5127 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5128 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5129 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5130 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5131 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

5301 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5302 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

5306 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5307 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5308 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5309 in a few situations.)

5358 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5359 the package build directory it is to act on.
5360 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5361 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5362 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
