=head1 SYNOPSIS
-B<dh> sequence [B<--until> I<cmd>] [B<--before> I<cmd>] [B<--after> I<cmd>] [B<--remaining>] [B<--with> I<addon>] [S<I<debhelper options>>]
+B<dh> sequence [B<--with> I<addon>] [B<--until> I<cmd>] [B<--before> I<cmd>] [B<--after> I<cmd>] [B<--remaining>] [S<I<debhelper options>>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
in the sequence. The B<--until>, B<--before>, B<--after>, and B<--remaining>
options can override this behavior.
+If debian/rules contains a target with a name like "override_I<dh_command>",
+then when it gets to that command in the sequence, dh will run that
+target from the rules file, rather than running the actual command. The
+override target can then run the command with additional options, or run
+entirely different commands instead. (Note that to use this feature,
+you should Build-Depend on debhelper 7.2 or above.)
+
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
+=item B<--with> I<addon>
+
+Add the debhelper commands specified by the given addon to appropriate places
+in the sequence of commands that is run. This option can be repeated more
+than once, and is used when there is a third-party package that provides
+debhelper commands. See "SEQUENCE ADDONS" below for documentation about what
+such packages should do to be supported by --with.
+
=item B<--until> I<cmd>
Run commands in the sequence until and including I<cmd>, then stop.
Run all commands in the sequence that have yet to be run.
-=item B<--with> I<addon>

All other options passed to dh are passed on to each command it runs. This

dh $@
-This is a simple rules file that is a good starting place for customisation.
-(It's also available in F</usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.simple>
-
+Often you'll want to pass an option to a specific debhelper command. The
+easy way to do with is by adding an override target for that command.

-Often you'll want to pass an option to ./configure. This uses dh to run all
-commands before L<dh_auto_configure(1)>, then runs that command by hand,
-and then finished up by running the rest of the sequence. You could also
-run ./configure by hand, instead of bothering with using dh_auto_configure.
-And if necessary, you can add commands to run automake, etc here too.

+Sometimes the automated dh_auto_configure and dh_auto_build can't guess
+what to do for a strange package. Here's how to avoid running either
+and instead run your own commands.

-It's also fine to run debhelper commands early. Just make sure that at

-B<--remaining> option to ensure that commands that normally come before
-those in the sequence are still run.
