+
+ * dh_installmenus: Now that a triggers capable menu and dpkg are in
+ stable, menu does not need to be explicitly run in maintainer
+ scripts, except for packages with menu-methods files. (See #473467)
+ * dh_installdocs: No longer add maintainer script code to call
+ doc-base, as it supports triggers in stable.
+ * dh_bugfiles: New program, contributed by Modestas Vainius.
+ Closes: #326874
+ * dh: Override LC_ALL, not LANG. re-Closes: #517617
+ * dh_installchangelogs: Support -X to exclude automatic installation
+ of specific upstream changelogs. re-Closes: #490937
+ * Compatability level 4 is now deprecated.
+ * dh_makeshlibs: Re-add --add-udeb support. Closes: #518655
+ * dh_shlibdeps: Remove --add-udeb switch (was accidentially added here).

+debhelper (7.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * dh_installmodules: Give files in /etc/modprobe.d a .conf
+ syntax, as required by new module-init-tools.
+ * dh_installmodules: Add preinst and postinst code to handle
+ cleanly renaming the modprobe.d files on upgrade.
+ * Two updates to conffile moving code from wiki:
+ - Support case where the conffile name is a substring of another
+ conffile's name.
+ - Support case where dpkg-query says the file is obsolete.

+ * Merged debhelper 7.0.50.
+ * dh: Fix typo. Closes: #509754
+ * debhelper.pod: Fix typo. Closes: #510180
+ * dh_gconf: Support mandatory settings. Closes: #513923
+ * Improve error messages when child commands fail.
+ * Depend on dpkg-dev 1.14.19, the first to support Package-Type
+ fields in dpkg-gencontrol.
+ * dh_gencontrol: No longer need to generate the udeb filename
+ when calling dpkg-gencontrol.
+ * dh_gencontrol: Do not need to tell dpkg-gencontol not to
+ include the Homepage field in udebs (fixed in dpkg-dev 1.14.17).

+debhelper (7.1.1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+ * dh_install(1): Order options alphabetically. Closes:# 503896
+ * Fix some docs that refered to --srcdir rather than --sourcedir.
+ Closes: #504742
+ * Add Vcs-Browser field. Closes: #507804
+ * Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
+ such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
+ to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
+ options.
+ (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this
+ warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)

+
+ * dh_installchangelogs: Fall back to looking for changelog files ending
+ with ".txt". Closes: #498460
+ * dh_gencontrol: Ensure misc:Depends is set in substvars to avoid dpkg
+ complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
+ * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
+ * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
+ by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
+ Closes: #370823
+ * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
+ that uses them. Affected options are:
+ -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
+ --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
+ --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
+ --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
+ --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
+ --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
+ --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
+ * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
+ they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
+ * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
+ use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
+ option. This will be converted back to an error later.

+debhelper (7.0.50) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * This release is designed to be easily backportable to stable,
+ to support the new style of rules file that I expect many packages will
+ use.
* dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.
(Thanks Modestas Vainius for the improved makefile parser.)
* dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these
eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
than the old method.
- * Remove rules.simple example, there's no need to use explcit targets
+ * Remove rules.simple example, there's little need to use explicit targets
with dh anymore.

+ * dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B,
+ which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit
+ rules (see bug #509756).
