hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first

of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
bits until all files have been registered.

* 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.

* 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.
