* Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
<cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
I made some changes, though:
- I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
- I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
that is a clear violation of policy.
- I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
- I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
- So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
- I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brandon's
font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
- In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
as I can.

existance of emacs-package-install/remove before calling them. Though
a strict reading of the emacsen policy indicates that such a test
shouldn't be needed, there may be edge cases (cf bug 44924), where it
is.

For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.

* dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
/usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
/usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
* Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.
r265: * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
anymore.
* debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
* examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
* examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
commands.
* examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.
