-This is the TODO for debhelper. As more and more people use debhelper, this
-list grows - I welcome patches to fix items on it!

 v8:
 
-* escaping in config files (for whitespace)?
-* make dh_install use hard links for efficiency (maybe?)
-* dh_installinit --restart-after-upgrade as default?
-* #487006: dh_installman with 3-letter codes
-* clean up dh's handling of options passed onto commands it calls,
-  by implementing one of the changes discussed in #570039
-  (either change #3, change #4, or change #5; change #0 was done, but 
-  was an incomplete workaround)
-  My preference ATM is #3, require dh options come before --,
-  and after, options to be passed on to commands.
 * better package arch filtering for -N , -p (#576990)
 * Support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug ; maybe also support passing
   -g -O2 by default. See patch (and discussion of why this breaks
   compatability) in #544844.
+* Reorder build systems list. perl_build before perl_makemaker.
+  Any other changes? #578805
