1247 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1248 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1249 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1250 dh_install, which ...
1251 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1252 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1253 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1254 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1255 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1256 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1257 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1258 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1259 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1260 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1261 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1262 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1263 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1264 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1265 other minor changes.
1266 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1267 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1268 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1269 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1270 course there's -X ..)
1271 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1272 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1273 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1275 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1276 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1277 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1278 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1279 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1326 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1327 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1354 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1356 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1357 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1358 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1359 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1360 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1361 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1362 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1363 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1364 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1365 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1366 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1367 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1368 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1369 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1370 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1371 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1373 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1391 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1392 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1393 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1394 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

1408 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1409 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1410 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1411 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1412 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1413 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1414 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1415 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1416 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1592 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1593 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1594 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1595 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1596 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1597 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1598 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1599 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1600 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1601 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1602 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1603 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1604 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1625 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1626 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1627 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1628 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1629 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1630 program those options go to. So, for example,
1631 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1632 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1774 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1775 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1776 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1777 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1778 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1779 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1834 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1836 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1837 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1838 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1839 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1840 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1841 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1842 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1843 but is mildly deprecated.
1844 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1845 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1846 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1847 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1848 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1849 switching to statoverrides..
1850 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1851 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1852 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1853 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1854 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1855 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1857 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1858 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1859 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1860 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1861 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1862 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1863 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1864 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1865 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1867 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1868 variable names, pod man pages).
1869 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1870 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1871 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1872 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1873 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1874 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1875 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2026 debhelper (2.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
2028 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
2029 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
2030 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
2031 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
2032 backwards-compatability.

2036 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2038 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2039 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2040 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2041 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2042 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2043 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2044 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2046 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2047 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2048 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2050 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2052 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2053 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2054 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2055 should now be raised to severity important..
2056 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2057 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2096 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
2097 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2098 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2099 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2100 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2112 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2113 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2114 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2115 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2116 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2117 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2223 does not call depmod -a. update-modules (which it always called)_
2224 handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
2225 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

2289 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2291 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2292 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2293 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2294 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2295 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2296 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2297 notice until v2 is complete.
2298 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2299 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2300 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2301 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2302 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2303 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2305 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2306 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2307 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2308 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2429 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2430 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2432 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2433 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2434 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2435 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2436 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2519 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2520 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2521 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2522 bits until all files have been registered.

2534 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2537 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2538 otherwise change the result at all.
2540 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2541 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2542 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2543 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
2544 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

2551 * Fixed typo in dh_installmenu.1, Closes: #51332

2557 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
2558 act on files that don't exist.
2559 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
2560 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2561 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2563 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2564 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2565 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2566 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2572 * Actually, debhelper build-depends on perl-5.005.

2584 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
2585 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.

2589 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
2591 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
2592 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
2594 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
2595 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
2596 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

2600 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low
2602 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
2603 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
2604 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
2605 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
2606 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
2607 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
2608 does not compress. Closes: #41733
2609 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
2611 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.
2613 * Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever.

2657 * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
2658 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
2659 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
2660 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2661 I made some changes, though:
2662 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2663 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2664 that is a clear violation of policy.
2665 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2666 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2667 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2668 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2669 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2670 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2671 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2672 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2673 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2675 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2685 debhelper (2.0.60) unstable; urgency=low
2687 * dh_compress: After compressing an executable, changes the file mode to
2688 644. Executable .gz files are silly. Closes: #46383

2694 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
2695 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
2696 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

2716 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
2717 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2718 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2719 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2720 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2721 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2722 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
2723 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

2751 don't do anything, rather than crashing.

2782 for the dependancies to be generated.

2836 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
2838 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2839 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2840 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2841 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2842 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2843 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2844 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2845 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2846 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2847 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2848 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2849 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2850 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2856 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2857 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2858 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2860 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2861 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2862 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2863 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2864 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2865 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2867 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2868 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

2921 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
2922 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
2923 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

3060 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
3061 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
3062 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

3076 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.

3078 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3079 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3091 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
3092 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3093 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3094 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3095 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3096 * debhelper.1: documented this.
3097 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3098 current compatability level is equal to that number.

3126 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3127 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3128 more than 1 init script.

3171 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3172 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3173 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3187 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3188 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3189 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3233 help from Julian Gilbey.
3234 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
3235 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3236 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3237 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
3238 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
3239 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

3343 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

3345 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

3558 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3559 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
3560 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
3561 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.
3562 Since this no longer happens implicitly, I've changed to clearing the

3586 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3587 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3588 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3589 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
3590 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
3591 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
3592 suidregister actually supports it.
3593 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
3594 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

3607 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
3608 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
3609 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
3610 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3611 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3612 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3613 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
3614 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

3629 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

3642 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3643 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
3644 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
3645 effect, either. (#30118)

3780 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3781 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3782 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3783 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3798 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3799 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3800 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3801 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3802 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3803 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3804 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3843 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3844 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3845 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to

4035 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
4036 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
4037 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
4038 updating 27 man pages.
4039 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
4040 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
4041 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
4042 * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
4043 programs act on. (#25247)

4051 * This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
4052 stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
4053 people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
4054 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
4055 to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
4056 bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go

4114 to fix bad uses of the find command, so it should now work on packages
4115 with files with spaces in them (#22005). It's also much cleaner. Thanks,

4169 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4170 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4171 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4172 past week. Thanks, guys!
4174 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4175 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4176 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4177 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4178 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4179 would do in the same situation.
4180 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4181 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4183 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4185 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4186 permissions changed.
4187 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4188 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4189 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4190 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4191 files are treated identically.
4192 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4193 * Minor man page fixes.
4194 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4195 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4196 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4202 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4203 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4204 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4205 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4206 use -X multiple times, too.
4207 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4208 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4230 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4231 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4232 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4233 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4234 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
4235 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
4236 shape if you're starting a new package.

4265 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4266 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4267 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
4268 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

4517 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command

4519 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4520 a given package, or -i or -a.

4528 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4555 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4556 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4557 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

4604 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4605 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4606 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4607 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4608 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4609 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4610 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4686 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.

4688 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4689 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4778 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4779 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4780 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4781 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4782 debian/README.debian.
4783 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4784 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4785 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4786 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4787 in a few situations.)

4831 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4833 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4836 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4837 the package build directory it is to act on.
4838 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4839 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4840 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
