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