 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-dh runs a sequence of debhelper commands. The supported sequences
-correspond to the targets of a debian/rules file: "build", "clean",
-"install", "binary-arch", "binary-indep", and "binary".
+B<dh> runs a sequence of debhelper commands. The supported I<sequence>s
+correspond to the targets of a F<debian/rules> file: B<build-arch>,
+B<build-indep>, B<build>, B<clean>, B<install-indep>, B<install-arch>,
+B<install>, B<binary-arch>, B<binary-indep>, and B<binary>.
 
-Commands in the binary-indep sequence are passed the "-i" option to ensure
-they only work on binary independent packages, and commands in the
-binary-arch sequences are passed the "-a" option to ensure they only work
-on architecture dependent packages.
+Commands in the B<build-indep>, B<install-indep> and B<binary-indep>
+sequences are passed the B<-i> option to ensure they only work on
+architecture independent packages, and commands in the B<build-arch>,
+B<install-arch> and B<binary-arch> sequences are passed the B<-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 gets to that command in the sequence, dh will run that
-target from the rules file, rather than running the actual command. The
-override target can then run the command with additional options, or run
-entirely different commands instead. (Note that to use this feature,
-you should Build-Depend on debhelper 7.0.50 or above.)
+If F<debian/rules> contains a target with a name like B<override_>I<dh_command>,
+then when it would normally run I<dh_command>, B<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 a way to prevent B<dh> from running several commands that you don't

+
+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 $@
+       
+       override_dh_fixperms:
+               dh_fixperms
+       ifneq (,$(filter 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 B<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 when your package needs different B<build-arch> and B<build-indep> targets.
+For example, a package with a long document build process can put it in
+B<build-indep>.
+
+       #!/usr/bin/make -f
+       %:
+               dh $@
+       
+       build-indep:
+               $(MAKE) docs
+       build-arch:
+               $(MAKE) bins
+
+Note that in the example above, dh will arrange for "debian/rules build"
+to call your build-indep and build-arch targets. You do not need to
+explicitly define the dependencies in the rules file when using dh with
+compatability level v9. This example would be more complicated with
+earlier compatability levels.
+
+=head1 INTERNALS
+
+If you're curious about B<dh>'s internals, here's how it works under the hood.
+
+Each debhelper command will record when it's successfully run in
+F<debian/package.debhelper.log>. (Which B<dh_clean> deletes.) So B<dh> can tell
+which commands have already been run, for which packages, and skip running
+those commands again.
+
+Each time B<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.
+
+A sequence can also run dependent targets in debian/rules.  For
+example, the "binary" sequence runs the "install" target.
+
+B<dh> sets environment variables listed by B<dpkg-buildflags>, unless
+they are already set. It supports DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt too.
+
+B<dh> uses the B<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.
