 * Add a switch to dh_installdeb to allow it to do user defined
   substitutions. OTOH, maybe it's better if people just sed
   postinst.in before debhelper gets it's hands on it... (#25235)
+* objdump -p can get the soname of a library, try using that in dh_shlibs
+  instead of parsing filenames.
+* to suport foo-doc -> foo symlinks in /usr/share/doc, make
+  dh_installdocs/changelogs check to see if the doc dir is a symlink to a
+  directory. If so, dh_installdocs does not install copyright, and
+  dh_installchangelogs does nothing, but everything else dh_installdocs would
+  do is still done. This means that you need to use dh_link and dh_installdirs
+  to set up the link and directory.
 
 Deprecated:
 
-* remove dh_installdebfiles, dh_du. 
+* remove dh_du. 
   - need to wait a reasonable length of
     time. I'm currently planning on doing this after slink is released or
     one year after they were deprecated, whichever comes first. Be sure to
     grep whole debian archive for all of them before removing them, though!
-  - It's about time to do this.
+  - currently, a few packages in potato use dh_du, but bugs have been filed.
+* Remove support for --number option
+  - only dh_installemacsen ever used it, it is not --priority.
