binary-arch sequences are passed the "-a" option to ensure they only work
on architecture dependent packages.
-Each debhelper command will record when it's successfully run in
-debian/package.debhelper.log. (Which dh_clean deletes.) So dh can tell
-which commands have already been run, for which packages, and skip running
-those commands again.
-
-Each time dh is run, it examines the log, and finds the last logged command
-that is in the specified sequence. It then continues with the next command
-in the sequence. The B<--until>, B<--before>, B<--after>, and B<--remaining>
-options can override this behavior.
-
If debian/rules contains a target with a name like "override_I<dh_command>",
-then when it would notmally run I<dh_command>, dh will instead call that
+then when it would normally run I<dh_command>, dh will instead call that
target. The override target can then run the command with additional options,
or run entirely different commands instead. See examples below. (Note that to
use this feature, you should Build-Depend on debhelper 7.0.50 or above.)

Here is how to force use of perl's Module::Build build system,
which can be necessary if debhelper wrongly detects that the package

%:
- dh --buildsystem=perl_build $@

To patch your package using quilt, you can tell dh to use quilt's dh
sequence addons like this:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
- dh --with quilt $@
+ dh $@ --with quilt
Here is an example of overriding where the dh_auto_* commands find
the package's source, for a package where the source is located in a
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
- dh --sourcedirectory=src $@
+ dh $@ --sourcedirectory=src
+
+And here is an example of how to tell the dh_auto_* commands to build
+in a subdirectory, which will be removed on clean.

+ #!/usr/bin/make -f

+ dh $@ --builddirectory=build

+If your package can be built in parallel, you can support parallel building

+

+Sometimes, you may need to make an override target only run commands when a
+particular package is being built. This can be accomplished using
+L<dh_listpackages(1)> to test what is being built. For example:
+
+ #!/usr/bin/make -f
+ %:
+ dh $@
+
+ override_dh_fixperms:
+ dh_fixperms
+ ifneq (,$(findstring foo, $(shell dh_listpackages)))
+ chmod 4755 debian/foo/usr/bin/foo
+ endif
+
+Finally, remember that you are not limited to using override targets in the
+rules file when using dh. You can also explicitly define any of the regular
+rules file targets when it makes sense to do so. A common reason to do this
+is if your package needs different build-arch and build-indep targets. For
+example, a package with a long document build process can put it in
+build-indep to avoid build daemons redundantly building the documentation.
+
+ #!/usr/bin/make -f
+ %:
+ dh $@
+
+ build: build-arch build-indep ;
+ build-indep:
+ $(MAKE) docs
+ build-arch:

+=head1 INTERNALS
+
+If you're curious about dh's internals, here's how it works under the hood.
+
+Each debhelper command will record when it's successfully run in
+debian/package.debhelper.log. (Which dh_clean deletes.) So dh can tell
+which commands have already been run, for which packages, and skip running
+those commands again.
+
+Each time dh is run, it examines the log, and finds the last logged command
+that is in the specified sequence. It then continues with the next command
+in the sequence. The B<--until>, B<--before>, B<--after>, and B<--remaining>
+options can override this behavior.
+
+dh uses the DH_INTERNAL_OPTIONS environment variable to pass information
+through to debhelper commands that are run inside override targets. The
+contents (and indeed, existence) of this environment variable, as the name
+might suggest, is subject to change at any time.
