+ * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
+ debhelper to build.
+ * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
+ behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
+ line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
+ first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
+ a given package, or -i or -a.
+ * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
+ "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
+ * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
+ and debhelper's behavior has altered.
+ * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
+ is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
+ * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
+ away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
+ * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
+ perl script.
+ * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
+ led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
+ not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.
