10 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
11 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
12 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.

14 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
15 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

262 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

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

529 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
531 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
532 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
533 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
534 multiple binary packages.
535 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
536 should rebuild them with this version.
537 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

555 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
557 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
558 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
559 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
560 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
561 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
562 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
563 debian/README.debian.
564 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
565 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
566 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
567 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
568 in a few situations.)

572 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
574 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

591 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

597 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
599 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
601 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
602 is ready for general use.
603 * Added man pages for all commands.
604 * Multiple binary package support.
605 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
606 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
607 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
609 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
610 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
611 auto-installed as parameters.
612 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
614 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
617 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
618 the package build directory it is to act on.
619 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
620 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
621 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
