-debhelper (7.4.20) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
+debhelper (7.9.2) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
+
+  * In v8 mode, stop passing packlist=0 in perl_makemaker buildsystem,
+    since perl_build is tried first. Avoids the makemaker warning message
+    introduced by the fix to #527990.

+debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
+    changes are planned for that mode.
+  * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
+  * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
+    target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of 
+    Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
+  * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
+  * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
+  * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
+    (genesis) still uses them.
+  * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
+    avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
+  * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
+    file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
+  * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
+    subdirectories. Closes: #521258
+  * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
+    commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
+  * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
+    libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
+    used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
+    means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
+    not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
+    may break some packages. Closes: #557603
+  * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
+    (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
+    This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
+    commands. (See #570039)
+  * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
+    Closes: #578805
+  * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.
+    Closes: #586065

+debhelper (7.4.20) unstable; urgency=low
 
   * Drop one more call to dpkg-architecture. Closes: #580837
     (Raphael Geissert)
   * Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,
     in a typical package with no explicit architecture mentions
     in control file or debhelper config files.
+  * dh_perl: use debian_abi for XS modules. Closes: #581233
