+ * dh_link: -X can be used to avoid it modifying symlinks to be compliant

+ * dh_gencontrol: Stop passing -isp, it's the default now. Closes: #458114
+ * dh_shlibdeps: Update documentation for -L and -l. dpkg-shlibdeps is now

+ * dh_shlibdeps: If a relative path is specified in -l, don't prepend the pwd
+ to it, instead just prepend a slash to make it absolute. dpkg-shlibdeps
+ has changed how it used LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so making it point into the
+ package build directory won't work.
+ * dh_shlibdeps: Change "-L pkg" to cause "-Sdebian/pkg" to be passed to

+
+ * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
+ using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
+ packages.
+ * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
+ new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
+ that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
+ * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
+ will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
+ * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
+ the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
+ * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
+ w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

+ * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
+ preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
+ dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
+ script and then remove the python files.
+ * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
+ * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
+ x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
+ probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
+ slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
+ /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
+ * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
+ the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
+ v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
+ buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
+ * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
