 Wishlist items:
 
-* All debhelper programs should only accept the options they are documented
-  to accept (rather than accepting all debhelper options). They should
-  be able to print brief usage summaries.
-
-  I think this calls for a restructuring. Make a Debhelper.pm class. Each
-  program subclasses the class. The class provides command line parsing,
-  useful functions, and so on. Skeleton of a debhelper command would then
-  be:
-
-  use base qw{Debhelper};
-
-  sub startup {
-       # Add initialization stuff here.
-  }
-
-  sub perpackage {
-       my $package=shift;
-
-       # Stuff to do for each package here.
-  }
-
-  sub fini {
-       # And final stuff here, if any.
-  }
-
-  This needs more thought.
