+ * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
+ help from Julian Gilbey.
+ * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
+ generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
+ * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
+ only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
+ * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
+ 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
+ * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root
+ (#37655).
