1 debhelper (8.1.3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
4 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
5 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
7 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
8 changes may be added to that mode.
9 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
10 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
11 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
12 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
13 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
14 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
15 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
16 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.

29 * dh_strip, dh_makeshlibs: use triplet-objdump, triplet-objcopy and
30 triplet-strip from cross-binutils when cross-compiling; Closes: #412118.
32 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
33 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
34 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
35 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
36 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

50 * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
51 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
52 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to

115 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
116 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
117 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
118 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
119 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
120 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
121 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
122 (genesis) still uses them.
123 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
124 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
125 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
126 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
127 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
128 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
129 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
130 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
131 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
132 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
133 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
134 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
135 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
136 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
137 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
138 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
139 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
140 commands. (See #570039)
141 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
143 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

187 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
188 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
190 * Typo. Closes: #571968
191 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
192 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
193 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
194 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
195 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
196 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
197 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077

318 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
319 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
320 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
321 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

563 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
564 contributed by Modestas Vainius
565 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
566 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
567 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
568 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
569 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
570 that support it. Closes: #480577
571 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
572 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
573 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
575 - Adds support for cmake.
576 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
577 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
579 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
581 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
582 that use them. The options are:
583 --sourcedir, --destdir
584 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
585 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
586 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
587 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
588 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

653 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
654 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
655 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
656 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
657 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
658 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
659 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

1043 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
1044 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
1045 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1046 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
1047 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
1048 logging by dh_listpackages.

1558 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.

1560 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1561 specific python version. Closes: #373853

1563 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1565 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1566 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1567 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1568 the not too-distant future).

3270 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3271 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3272 dh_install, which ...
3273 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3274 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3275 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3276 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3277 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3278 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3279 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3280 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3281 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3282 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3283 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3284 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3285 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3286 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3287 other minor changes.
3288 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3289 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3290 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3291 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3292 course there's -X ..)
3293 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3294 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3295 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3297 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3298 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

3348 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3349 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3376 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3378 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3379 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3380 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3381 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3382 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3383 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3384 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3385 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3386 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3387 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3388 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3389 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3390 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3391 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3392 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3393 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3395 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3431 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3432 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3433 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3434 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3435 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3436 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3437 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3438 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3614 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3615 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3616 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3617 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3618 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3619 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3620 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3621 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3622 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3623 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3624 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3626 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3647 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3648 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3649 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3650 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3651 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3652 program those options go to. So, for example,
3653 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3654 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3796 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3797 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3798 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3799 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3800 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3801 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3856 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3858 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3859 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3860 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3861 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3862 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3863 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3864 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3865 but is mildly deprecated.
3866 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3867 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3868 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3869 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3870 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3871 switching to statoverrides..
3872 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3873 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3874 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3875 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3876 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3877 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3879 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3880 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3881 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3882 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3883 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3884 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3885 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3886 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3887 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3889 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3890 variable names, pod man pages).
3891 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3892 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3893 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3894 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3895 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3896 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3897 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4061 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4062 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4063 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4064 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4065 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4066 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4068 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4069 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4070 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4072 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4074 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4075 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4076 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4077 should now be raised to severity important..
4078 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4079 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4313 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4314 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4315 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4316 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4317 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4318 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4319 notice until v2 is complete.
4320 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4321 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4322 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4323 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4324 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4325 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4327 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4328 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4538 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4539 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4540 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4541 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4542 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4543 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4544 bits until all files have been registered.

4553 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4554 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4555 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4556 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4557 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4558 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4559 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4560 otherwise change the result at all.
4562 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4563 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4585 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4586 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4587 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4588 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4682 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4683 I made some changes, though:
4684 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4685 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4686 that is a clear violation of policy.
4687 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4688 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4689 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4690 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4691 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4692 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4693 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4694 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4695 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4697 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4741 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4742 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4743 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4864 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4865 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4866 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4867 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4868 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4869 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4870 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4871 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4872 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4882 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

5046 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

5115 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
5116 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
5117 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
5118 * debhelper.1: documented this.

5120 current compatibility level is equal to that number.

5193 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses

5210 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5211 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5823 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5824 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5825 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5999 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
6000 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
6001 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
6002 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6003 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6004 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6005 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6006 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6007 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6008 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6009 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6010 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
6011 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
6012 passed any switches.

6022 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
6023 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
6024 large chunks in the process.
6025 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
6026 install many oddly named files it died on before.

6062 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

6193 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6194 past week. Thanks, guys!
6196 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6197 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6198 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6199 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6200 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6201 would do in the same situation.
6202 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6203 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6205 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6207 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6208 permissions changed.
6209 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6210 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6211 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6212 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6213 files are treated identically.
6214 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6227 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6228 use -X multiple times, too.
6229 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

6489 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
6490 argument processor in perl.
6491 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
6492 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
6493 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
6494 * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).

6500 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
6501 type directories. (#16933)
6502 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
6503 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6504 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6505 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6506 are supported. (#16935)
6507 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

6524 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6525 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6526 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6527 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

6534 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6535 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6538 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6539 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6540 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6541 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6542 a given package, or -i or -a.
6543 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6544 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6545 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6546 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6547 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6548 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6549 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6550 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6551 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6553 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6554 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
6555 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

6578 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6626 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6627 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6628 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6629 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6630 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6631 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6632 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6802 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

6807 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6808 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6809 in a few situations.)

6855 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6858 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6859 the package build directory it is to act on.
6860 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6861 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
