This needs more thought.
-* All debhelper programs should be checked that they output files with the
- correct permissions no matter what the umask is set to. Currently, only
- those programs that run after dh_fixperms have been so checked. (Checking
- the rest is low priority, since dh_fixperms fixes any incorrect permissions
- they might have; still it would be nice to check them too, just to make
- debhelper more flexible.) One easy fix is to add umask 022 to dh_lib,
- however, there may be unforeseen ramifications of such a change.
-* All programs should also make sure the files they install are owned by
- root.root. Situation is currently the same as with permissions above, plus
- dh_installchangelogs is fixed.
* Support use of environment variables in data taken from user, ie, in
debian/dirs. The problem with doing this is that we really want to allow
any filenames in that input, even those that look like environment
without calling dh_cache again. (#23792)
* 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)
-* dh_installdocs needs -X support, which probably means going with tar
- instead of cp -a. Ugh.
-
-v4:
-
-See debhelper's man page for what's implemented so far.
-
-These items are planned:
-
-* Maybe make dh_fixperms make all files in bin/ dirs +x. (#119039)
+ postinst.in before debhelper gets its hands on it... (#25235)
Deprecated:
* dh_installxaw. xaw replacments are dying, nothing uses it validly (bugs
filed on the few packages that use it by accident). Remove as soon as
nothing uses it, or by april 2002.
+* dh_movefiles. I won't hold my breath.
