Often you'll want to pass an option to a specific debhelper command. The
easy way to do with is by adding an override target for that command.

Sometimes the automated L<dh_auto_configure(1)> and L<dh_auto_build(1)>
can't guess what to do for a strange package. Here's how to avoid running
dh $@ --with autotools_dev
Python tools are not run by dh by default, due to the continual change
-in that area. (Before compatability level v9, dh does run B<dh_pysupport>.)
