-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
though.
* dh_suidregister. Once nothing in the archive uses it.
* dh_installmanpages.
-* dh_testversion. Remove as soon as nothing uses it.
* dh_movefiles. I won't hold my breath. Have not added deprecation
docs or message yet.
* dh_undocumented
* 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.
+* dh --before , --after , --until , --remaining
+* debian/compress files
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.
+some of them.
