 This is the TODO for debhelper. As more and more people use debhelper, this
 list grows - I welcome patches to fix items on it!
 
-Wishlist items:
-
 v8:
 
 * escaping in config files (for whitespace)?
-* make dh_install use hard links for efficiency
+* make dh_install use hard links for efficiency (maybe?)
 * dh_installinit --restart-after-upgrade as default?
 * #487006: dh_installman with 3-letter codes
 * apply patch in #557603 (breaks compatibility slightly; see #560120)
 * clean up dh's handling of options passed onto commands it calls,
-  either by requiring they come after -- , or by one of the other
-  changes discussed in #570039
+  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)
+* better package arch filtering for -N , -p (#576990)
+* Convert warning about unknown command-line options back to an error.
+* Support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug ; maybe also support passing
+  -g -O2 by default. See patch (and discussion of why this breaks
+  compatability) in #544844.
 
 Deprecated:
 
 * DH_COMPAT 1, 2, 3, 4. Can be removed once all packages are seen to be using
   a newer version. I won't hold my breath. Now with evil warning messages
   though.
-* Also, grep the entire archive for all dh_* command lines,
-  and check to see what other switches are not being used, and maybe remove
-  some of them. I'd also like to deprecate/remove debian/compress files, -X is
-  a better idea.
 * dh_suidregister. Once nothing in the archive uses it.
 * dh_installmanpages.
 * dh_testversion. Remove as soon as nothing uses it.

+* dh_clean -k
 * dh_desktop, dh_scrollkeeper. Remove eventually..
 * -s flag, not formally deprecated yet; remove eventually
 * -u flag; add a warning on use and remove eventually
 * delsubstvar() and the last parameter to addsubstvar that makes it remove
   a string are not used in debhelper itself, but have been left in the
   library in case other things use them. Deprecate and remove.
