50 * dh: Ensure -a and -i are passed when running override_dh_command-arch

78 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
80 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
81 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
82 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
83 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
84 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
86 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
87 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
88 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
90 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
91 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
92 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
93 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
94 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
95 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
96 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
97 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
98 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
99 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
100 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
101 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.
102 * Remove obsolete versioned dependency on perl-base.
103 * Avoid writing debhelper log files in no-act mode. Closes: #640586

135 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. (Modestas Vainius) Closes: #587885
136 * dpkg-buildflags is only used to set environment in v9, to avoid
137 re-breaking packages that were already broken a first time by
138 dpkg-buildpackage unconditionally setting the environment, and
139 worked around that by unsetting variables in the rules file.

209 when passed bundled options (like "-Nfoo" instead of "-N foo") that
210 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
211 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur
212 for other reasons, like interrupted builds during development,

222 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used

224 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
226 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
227 changes may be added to that mode.
228 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
229 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
230 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
231 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
232 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
233 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
234 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
235 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.

342 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
343 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
344 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
345 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
346 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
347 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
348 (genesis) still uses them.

352 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
353 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
354 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
355 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
356 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
357 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
358 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
359 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
360 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
361 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
362 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
363 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
364 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
365 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
366 commands. (See #570039)
367 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

542 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
543 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
544 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
545 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
546 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
547 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
548 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
549 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
550 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
551 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
552 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
553 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
554 time soon.) Closes: #554509

564 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
565 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
567 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
568 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
569 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

629 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
630 flag with arch all/any packages.
631 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users

790 contributed by Modestas Vainius
791 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
792 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
793 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
794 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
795 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
796 that support it. Closes: #480577
797 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
798 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
799 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
801 - Adds support for cmake.
802 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
803 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
805 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
807 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
808 that use them. The options are:
809 --sourcedir, --destdir
810 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
811 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
812 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
813 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
814 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1033 cleanly renaming the modprobe.d files on upgrade.

1069 * Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
1070 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
1071 to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
1073 (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this

1085 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
1086 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
1088 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
1089 that uses them. Affected options are:
1090 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
1091 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
1092 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

1095 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
1096 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
1097 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1098 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1099 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1100 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1101 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1271 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs

1625 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1626 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1628 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1629 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1630 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1631 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1632 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1633 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1634 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
1635 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
1636 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

1645 package install. Closes: #415717
1646 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1647 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1648 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1649 script and then remove the python files.
1650 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1651 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1652 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1653 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1654 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1655 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1656 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1657 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1658 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1659 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1780 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1781 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1782 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1783 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1784 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1785 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1786 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1787 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1788 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1789 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1791 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1792 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1793 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1794 the not too-distant future).
1795 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1796 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

3495 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3496 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3497 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3498 dh_install, which ...
3499 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3500 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3501 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3502 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3503 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3504 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3505 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3506 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3507 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3508 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3509 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3510 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3511 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3512 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3513 other minor changes.
3514 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3515 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3516 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3517 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3518 course there's -X ..)
3519 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3520 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3521 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3523 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3524 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3525 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3526 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3527 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3574 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

3602 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3604 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3605 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3606 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3607 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3608 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3609 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3610 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3611 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3612 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3613 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3614 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3615 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3616 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3617 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3618 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3619 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3621 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3656 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3657 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3658 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3659 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3660 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3661 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3662 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3663 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

4024 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4025 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4026 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4027 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

4084 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4085 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4086 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4087 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4088 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

4090 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4091 but is mildly deprecated.
4092 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4093 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4094 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4095 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4096 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4097 switching to statoverrides..
4098 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4099 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4100 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4101 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4102 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4103 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4105 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4106 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4107 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4108 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4109 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4110 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4111 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4112 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4113 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4115 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4116 variable names, pod man pages).
4117 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4118 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4119 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4120 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4121 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4122 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4123 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4289 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4294 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4295 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4296 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4539 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4540 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4541 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4542 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4543 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4544 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4545 notice until v2 is complete.
4546 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4547 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4548 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4549 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4550 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4551 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4553 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4554 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4555 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4678 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4680 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4767 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4768 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4769 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4770 bits until all files have been registered.

4909 I made some changes, though:
4910 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4911 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4912 that is a clear violation of policy.
4913 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4914 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4915 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4916 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4917 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4918 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4919 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4920 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4921 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4923 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5091 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5092 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5093 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5094 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5095 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5096 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5097 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5098 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

6016 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
6017 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
6018 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
6019 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

6027 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
6028 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6029 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6030 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6031 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6044 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
6045 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6046 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6047 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6048 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6049 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6050 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6051 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6052 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6088 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6089 sections of shared libraries.
6090 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6091 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6092 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6093 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6094 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6095 things you don't want them to.

6158 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6159 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6160 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

6234 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6235 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6236 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6419 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6420 past week. Thanks, guys!
6422 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6423 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6424 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6425 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6426 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6427 would do in the same situation.
6428 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6429 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

6433 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

6436 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6437 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6438 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6439 files are treated identically.

6768 a given package, or -i or -a.

6770 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6988 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6989 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6990 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

6996 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6998 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6999 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
7000 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
7001 multiple binary packages.
7002 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
7003 should rebuild them with this version.
7004 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

7008 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
7010 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
7011 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

7022 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7024 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7025 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7026 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7027 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7028 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7029 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7030 debian/README.debian.
7031 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7032 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7033 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7034 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7035 in a few situations.)

7039 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
7041 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

7045 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

7058 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
7060 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
7061 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
7062 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

7066 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7068 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7069 is ready for general use.
7070 * Added man pages for all commands.
7071 * Multiple binary package support.
7072 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7073 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7074 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7076 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7077 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7078 auto-installed as parameters.
7079 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7081 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7084 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7085 the package build directory it is to act on.
7086 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7087 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7088 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
