+debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * The "Does this version number frighten you?" release.
+ * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
+ It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
+ based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
+ begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
+ evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
+ Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
+ * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
+ but is mildly deprecated.
+ * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
+ * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
+ latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
+ thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
+ * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
+ dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
+ has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
+ instead.
+ * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
+ directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
+ `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
+ is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
+ a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
+ Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
+ dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
+ * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
+ debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
+ version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
+ planned).
+ * Tonnes of changes here and there to mark v3 as done. I don't have a
+ v4 planned at this time. All the big changes are done.
+ * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict; -w; lower-case
+ variable names). No perl-5.6isms though.
+*** to make the version number a little more justified, turn on 'use
+strict' throughout.. --- DONE up to dh_perl, not including it****
+*** move man pages into programs as pod docs ***
+*** add something to allow specification of the options each program takes,
+make them ignore other options, and be able to display usage help ***
+*** fix aj's bug, sigh ***
