1 debhelper (7.2.0) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
4 for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.
5 (Thanks Modestas Vainius for the improved makefile parser.)
6 * dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these
7 eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
9 * Remove rules.simple example, there's no need to use explcit targets
11 * dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B,
12 which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit
13 rules (see bug #509756).

54 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the
55 source package when deciding whether to install to debian/package or
56 debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any

149 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
150 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
151 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
152 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
153 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
154 logging by dh_listpackages.

526 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
527 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
528 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
529 script and then remove the python files.

531 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
532 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
533 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
534 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

672 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
673 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2228 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new

2375 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2376 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2377 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2378 dh_install, which ...
2379 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2380 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2381 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2382 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2383 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2384 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2385 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2386 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2387 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2388 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2389 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2390 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2391 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2392 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2393 other minor changes.
2394 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2395 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2396 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2397 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2398 course there's -X ..)
2399 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2400 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2401 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2403 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2404 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2405 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2406 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2407 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2451 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2452 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2453 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2454 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2455 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2482 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2484 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2485 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2486 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2487 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2488 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2489 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2490 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2491 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2492 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2493 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2494 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2495 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2496 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2497 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2498 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2499 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2501 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2517 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
2518 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2519 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2520 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2521 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

2534 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2536 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2537 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2538 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2539 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2540 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2541 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2542 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2543 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2544 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
2545 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
2546 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.

2720 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

2722 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2723 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2724 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2725 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2726 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2727 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2728 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2729 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2730 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2732 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2752 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2753 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2754 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2755 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2756 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2757 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2758 program those options go to. So, for example,
2759 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2760 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2761 something complex. Closes: #89311

2902 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2903 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2904 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2905 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2906 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2907 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2908 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2962 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2964 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2965 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2966 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2967 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2968 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2969 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2970 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2971 but is mildly deprecated.
2972 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2973 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2974 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2975 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2976 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2977 switching to statoverrides..
2978 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2979 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2980 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2981 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2982 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2983 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2985 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2986 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2987 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2988 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2989 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2990 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2991 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2992 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2993 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2995 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2996 variable names, pod man pages).
2997 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2998 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2999 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3000 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3001 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3002 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3003 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3029 * Added a suggests to debconf-utils, Closes: #83643
3030 I may chenge this to a dependancy at some point in the future,
3031 since one debconf command needs the package to work.

3044 * Bah, reverted that last change. It isn't useful because
3045 dpkg-buildpackage reads the real control file and gets confused.

3049 debhelper (2.2.15) unstable; urgency=medium
3051 * Added the ability to make debhelper read a different file than
3052 debian/control as the control file. This is very useful for various and
3053 sundry things, all Evil, most involving kernel packages.

3070 debhelper (2.2.12) unstable; urgency=medium
3072 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3073 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3074 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3075 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3076 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3077 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3078 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3079 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3080 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3081 it is an obsolete program.

3137 * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
3138 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
3139 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
3140 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain
3141 files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just
3142 to be sure. Closes: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249

3156 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
3157 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
3158 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
3159 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
3160 backwards-compatability.

3164 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3166 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3167 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3168 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3169 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3170 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3171 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3172 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3174 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3175 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3176 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3178 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3180 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3181 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3182 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3183 should now be raised to severity important..
3184 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3185 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3192 packages that have html changelogs. But you'll be sorry...

3211 * Ok, I tihnk we have a db3 fix that will really work now.

3215 debhelper (2.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
3217 * I retract 2.1.23, the hack doesn't help make dpkg-shlibdeps work; db3

3222 debhelper (2.1.23) unstable; urgency=low
3224 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
3225 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3226 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3227 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3228 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3232 debhelper (2.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
3234 * Fixed dh_perl to work with perl 5.6, Closes: #76508
3236 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 7 Nov 2000 15:56:54 -0800
3238 debhelper (2.1.21) unstable; urgency=low
3240 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3241 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3242 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3243 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3244 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3245 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.
3246 * dh_suidregister will be deprecated soon -- dpkg-statoverride is a

3251 debhelper (2.1.20) unstable; urgency=low
3253 * dh_suidregister: do not unregister on purge, since it will have already
3254 been unregistered then, and a warning will result.

3258 debhelper (2.1.19) unstable; urgency=low
3260 * dh_builddeb: Ok, it is cosmetic, but it annoyed me.

3264 debhelper (2.1.18) unstable; urgency=low

3272 debhelper (2.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
3274 * dh_movefiles.1: well I thought it was quite obvious why it always used
3275 debian/tmp, but it's a faq. Added some explanation. By the way, since
3276 there now exists a documented way to use dh_movefiles that does not
3277 have problems with empty directories that get left behind and so on, I
3278 think this Closes: #17111, #51985

3282 debhelper (2.1.16) unstable; urgency=low
3284 * dh_movefiles: fixed a regexp quoting problem with --sourcedir.
3286 * Whoops, I think I overwrote bod's NMU with 2.2.15. Let's merge those
3289 debhelper (2.1.14-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
3291 * Non-maintainer upload (thanks Joey).
3292 * dh_installchangelogs, dh_installdocs: allow dangling symlinks for
3293 $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE (useful for multi-binary packages).
3296 -- Brendan O'Dea <bod@debian.org> Fri, 20 Oct 2000 18:11:59 +1100
3298 I also added some documentation to debhelper.1 about this, and removed
3299 the TODO entry about it.

3310 debhelper (2.1.14) unstable; urgency=low
3312 * Rats, the previous change makes duplicate lines be created in the
3313 shlibs file, and lintian conplains. Added some hackery that should
3314 prevent that. Closes: #73052

3318 debhelper (2.1.13) unstable; urgency=low
3320 * Typo, Closes: #72932
3321 * dh_makeshlibs: follow symlinks to files when looking for files that are
3322 shared libraries. This allows it to catch files like
3323 "liballeg-3.9.33.so" that are not in the *.so.* form it looks for, but
3324 that doe have links to them that are in the right form. Closes: #72938

3348 debhelper (2.1.9) unstable; urgency=low
3350 * dh_installmodules: corrected the code added to maintainer scripts so it
3351 does not call depmod -a. update-modules (which it always called)_
3352 handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
3353 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular
3354 kernels, and should be rebuilt. Closes: #71841

3366 * debian/package.filename.arch is now checked for first, before
3367 debian/package.filename. Closes: #69453
3368 * Added a section to debhelper(1) about files in debian/ used by
3369 debhelper, which documents this. Removed scattered references to
3370 debian/filename from all over the man pages.

3394 debhelper (2.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
3396 * dh_shlibdeps: if it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it now prints out a line
3397 showing it is doing that when in verbose mode.
3398 * examples/rules.multi: don't use DH_OPTIONS hack. It's too confusing.
3399 rules.multi2 still uses it, but it has comments explaining the caveats

3417 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3419 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3420 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3421 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3422 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3423 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3424 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3425 notice until v2 is complete.
3426 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3427 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3428 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3429 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3430 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3431 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3433 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3434 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3435 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3436 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3470 "configure". I looked at the other possibilities, and I don't think any
3471 of the supported stuff should be called if the postist is called for
3472 error unwinds. Closes: #66673

3481 exists (wasn't because of a logic error). Closes: #66289

3555 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
3556 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3557 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3558 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3560 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3561 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3562 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3563 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3564 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3565 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3647 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3648 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3661 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3662 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3664 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3665 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3666 otherwise change the result at all.
3668 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3669 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3788 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3789 I made some changes, though:
3790 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3791 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3792 that is a clear violation of policy.
3793 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3794 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3795 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3796 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3797 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3798 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3799 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3800 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3801 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3803 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3847 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3848 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3849 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3971 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3972 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3973 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3974 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3975 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3976 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3977 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3978 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4047 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)

4049 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4050 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4051 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4052 it's always available.

4059 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

4929 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4930 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4931 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5036 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5037 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5038 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5039 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5040 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5041 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5043 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5044 remove debian/files properly.
5045 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5046 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5047 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5048 * Removed bogus menu file.

5065 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5066 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should

5096 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5097 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5108 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5109 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.

5111 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5112 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5113 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5114 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5115 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5116 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5299 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5300 past week. Thanks, guys!
5302 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5303 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5304 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5305 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5306 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5307 would do in the same situation.
5308 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5309 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5311 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5313 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5314 permissions changed.
5315 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5316 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5317 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5318 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5319 files are treated identically.

5333 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5334 use -X multiple times, too.

5611 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5612 are supported. (#16935)

5641 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5645 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5646 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5647 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5648 a given package, or -i or -a.
5649 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5650 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5651 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5652 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5653 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5654 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5656 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5734 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5735 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5736 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
