+ * rules.tiny: Typo fix. Closes: #479647
+ * dh_installinit: Add --restart-after-upgrade, which avoids stopping a
+ daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
+ its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
+ while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default
+ in a future (v8) compatability level. Closes: #471060
+ * dh: fix POD error. Closes: #480191
+ * dh: Typo fixes. Closes: #480200

+
+ * dh: Add an interface that third-party packages providing debhelper commands
+ can use to insert them into a command sequence.
+ (See dh(1), "SEQUENCE ADDONS".)
+ * dh: --with=foo can be used to include such third-party commands.
+ So, for example, --with=cli could add the dh_cli* commands from
+ cli-common.
+ * Moved python-support special case out of dh and into a python-support
+ sequence addon. --with=python-support is enabled by default to avoid
+ breaking backwards compatability.

+ * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
+ * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
+ run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
+ daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
+ dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
+ only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
+ logging by dh_listpackages.

+debhelper (7.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * dh: New program that runs a series of debhelper commands in a sequence.
+ This can be used to construct very short rules files (as short as 3
+ lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
+ needed.
+ * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
+ Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
+ options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
+ * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
+ running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
+ planned but not yet implemented.)
+ * dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
+ if the Makefile has such a target.
+ * dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
+ or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.
+ * dh_auto_install: New program, automates running make install, or using
+ setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
+ MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
+ but not yet implemented.)
+ * New v7 mode, which only has three changes from v6, and is the new
+ recommended default, especially when using dh.
+ * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
+ files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This
+ allows dh_install to interoperate with dh_auto_install without needing any
+ special parameters.
+ * dh_clean: In v7 mode, read debian/clean and delete all files listed
+ therein.
+ * dh_clean: In v7 mode, automatically delete *-stamp files.
+ * Add a Makefile and simplify this package's own rules file using
+ all the new toys.
+ * dh_clean: Don't delete core dumps. (Too DWIM, and "core" is not
+ necessarily a core dump.) Closes: #477391
+ * dh_prep: New program, does the same as dh_clean -k (which will be
+ deprecated later).
