r2033: * Add --ignore option. This is intended to ease dealing with upstream
tarballs that contain debian directories, by allowing debhelper config
files in those directories to be ignored, since there's generally no
good way to delete them out of the upstream tarball, and they can easily
get in the way if upstream is using debian/ differently than the Debian
maintainer.
r2010: * dh_icons: New program to update Freedesktop icon caches. Thanks
to Josselin Mouette, Ross Burton, Jordi Mallach, and Loïc Minier. Closes: #329460
* Note that as a transitional measure, dh_icons will currently only update
existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is
updating the icon caches, this will be changed. See #329460 for the full
plan.

r2004: file. (Thanks Wakko)
* Use dpkg-query to retrieve conffile info in udev rules upgrade code
rather than parsing status directly. (Thanks Guillem)
r1997: * dh_installwm: Fix several stupid bugs, including:
- man page handling was supposed to be v6 only and was not
- typo in alternatives call
- use the basename of the wm to get the man page name Closes: #420158
* dh_installwm: Also make the code to find the man page more robust and
fall back to not registering a man page if it is not found.
r1984: * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
packages.
* That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
* dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
* This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
r1980: * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
script and then remove the python files.
* Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
* dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
/usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
* dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
* dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite exsiting man pages. Closes: #288250

- when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y" Closes: #375576
- fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948
- fix parsing of XS-Python-Version, it didn't work if only fixed versions
were listed in XS-Python-Version.
- fix use of unitialized value. Closes: #374776
- fix typos in POD documentation. Closes: #375936
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Update of dh_python
- vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
- it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
- uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
- ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
specific python version. Closes: #373853
- always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
provides.
- uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
the not too-distant future).
DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
* Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
