+v9:
* escaping in config files (for whitespace)?
-* make dh_install use hard links for efficiency (maybe?)
* dh_installinit --restart-after-upgrade as default?
-* 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
- was an incomplete workaround)
- My preference ATM is #3, require dh options come before --,
- and after, options to be passed on to commands.
-* better package arch filtering for -N , -p (#576990)
-* 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.

* dh_suidregister. Once nothing in the archive uses it.
* dh_installmanpages.
* dh_movefiles. I won't hold my breath. Have not added deprecation
* delsubstvar() and the last parameter to addsubstvar that makes it remove

library in case other things use them. Deprecate and remove.

Also, grep the entire archive for all dh_* command lines,
and check to see what other switches are not being used, and maybe remove

-a better idea.
