   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.
-* Need a way to make dh_strip not strip any static libs. Also, it'd be nice
-  if there were options to dh_strip, dh_compress, etc, to allow inclusion of
-  directories and exclusion of files based on filename globbing. (Request from
-  Matthias Klose <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>)
-* 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
-  variables. However, it may be worth adding a switch to make it parse
-  environment variables. (#20964)
-* It's possible to speed up debhelper by having it cache some values that
-  multiple commands call. One way to do this would be to write dh_cache,
-  that generates the cache. The catch is that if the user runs that program,
-  they are stating that they don't do anything later to invalidate the cache,
-  without calling ch_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)
-* objdump -p can get the soname of a library, try using that in dh_shlibs
-  instead of parsing filenames.
