35 * dh: In v9, any standard rules file targets, including build-arch,
36 build-indep, build, install, etc, can be defined in debian/rules
37 without needing to explicitly tell make the dependencies between
38 the targets. Closes: #629139

71 * dh_clean: Remove debhelper logs for all packages, including packages
72 not being acted on. dh can sometimes produce such logs by accident
73 when passed bundled options (like "-Nfoo" instead of "-N foo") that
74 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
75 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur
76 for other reasons, like interrupted builds during development,
77 and it should be safe to clean them all. Closes: #623446

83 debhelper (8.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
86 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
87 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
88 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
90 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
91 changes may be added to that mode.
92 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
93 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
94 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
95 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
96 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
97 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
98 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
99 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.
100 * Removed old example rules files.
101 * dh_installgsettings: New command to handle gsettings schema files.

113 the overridden command. Closes: #613418

120 triplet-strip from cross-binutils when cross-compiling; Closes: #412118.
121 (Thanks, Loïc Minier)
122 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
123 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
124 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
125 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
126 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

133 * python_distutils: Pass --force to setup.py build, to ensure that when
134 python-dbg is run it does not win and result in scripts having it in
135 the shebang line. Closes: #589759
136 * Man page fixes about what program -u passes params to. Closes: #593342
137 * Avoid open fd 5 or 6 breaking buildsystem test suite. Closes: #596679
138 * Large update to Spanish man page translations by Omar Campagne.
140 * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
141 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
142 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to
143 dpkg-maintscript-helper later on. Closes: #574443

146 (Thanks, David Prévot)
147 * Explicitly build-depend on a new enough perl-base. Closes: #601188
148 * dh: Inhibit logging when an override target runs the overridden command,
149 to avoid unexpected behavior if the command succeeded but the overall
150 target fails. Closes: #601037
151 * Fix deprecated command list on translated debhelper(7) man pages.
153 * dh: Improve filtering in dh_listpackages example. Closes: #604561
154 * dh: Add support for build-arch, build-indep, install-arch and
155 install-indep sequences. Closes: #604563
156 (Thanks, Roger Leigh)
157 * dh_listpackages: Do not display warnings if options cause no packages
159 * dh_installdocs: Clarify that debian/README.Debian and debian/TODO are
160 only installed into the first package listed in debian/control.
162 * dh_compress: Javascript files are not compressed, as these go with
163 (uncompressed) html files. Closes: #603553

203 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
204 changes are planned for that mode.
205 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
206 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
207 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
208 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
209 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
210 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
211 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
212 (genesis) still uses them.
213 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
214 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
215 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
216 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
217 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
218 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
219 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
220 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
221 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
222 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
223 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
224 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
225 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
226 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
227 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
228 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
229 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
230 commands. (See #570039)
231 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
233 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

275 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
276 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
277 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
278 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
280 * Typo. Closes: #571968
281 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
282 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
283 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
284 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
285 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
286 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change

653 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
654 contributed by Modestas Vainius
655 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
656 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
657 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
658 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
659 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
660 that support it. Closes: #480577
661 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
662 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
663 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
665 - Adds support for cmake.
666 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
667 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
669 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
671 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
672 that use them. The options are:
673 --sourcedir, --destdir
674 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
675 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
676 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
677 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
678 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

746 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
747 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1510 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1511 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1512 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1513 script and then remove the python files.
1514 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1515 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1516 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1517 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1518 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1519 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963

1521 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1522 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1523 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1656 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1657 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2033 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility

2035 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows

2037 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3359 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3360 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3361 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3362 dh_install, which ...
3363 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3364 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3365 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3366 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3367 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3368 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3369 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3370 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3371 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3372 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3373 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3374 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3375 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3376 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3377 other minor changes.
3378 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3379 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3380 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3381 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3382 course there's -X ..)
3383 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3384 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3385 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3387 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3388 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

3436 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3437 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3438 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3439 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3466 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3468 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3469 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3470 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3471 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3472 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3473 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3474 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3475 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3476 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3477 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3478 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3479 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3480 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3481 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3482 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3483 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3485 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3520 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3521 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3522 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3523 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3524 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3525 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3526 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3527 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3528 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3707 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3708 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3709 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3710 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3711 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3712 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3713 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3714 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3739 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3740 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3741 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3742 program those options go to. So, for example,
3743 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3744 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3888 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3889 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3890 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3891 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3948 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3949 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3950 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3951 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3952 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3953 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3954 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3955 but is mildly deprecated.
3956 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3957 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3958 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3959 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3960 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3961 switching to statoverrides..
3962 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3963 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3964 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3965 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3966 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3967 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3969 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3970 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3971 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3972 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3973 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3974 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3975 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3976 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3977 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3979 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3980 variable names, pod man pages).
3981 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3982 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3983 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3984 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3985 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3986 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3987 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4059 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4060 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

4062 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

4153 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4155 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4156 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4158 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4159 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4160 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4162 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4164 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4165 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4166 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4403 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4404 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4405 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4406 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4407 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4408 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4409 notice until v2 is complete.
4410 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4411 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4412 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4413 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4414 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4415 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4417 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4541 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4542 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4544 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4545 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4546 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4547 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4548 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4549 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

4631 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4632 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4633 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4634 bits until all files have been registered.

4772 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4773 I made some changes, though:
4774 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4775 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4776 that is a clear violation of policy.
4777 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4778 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4779 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4780 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4781 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4782 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4783 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4784 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4785 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4787 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4955 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4956 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4957 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4958 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4959 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4960 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4961 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4962 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4972 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

5030 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
5031 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
5032 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
5033 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
5034 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
5035 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
5036 it's always available.

5042 * Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base
5043 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from
5044 Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> to make it use those id's instead

5078 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
5079 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
5080 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this
5081 ever happenning, but it pays to be safe.

5136 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
5137 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
5138 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

5172 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a

5206 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
5207 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

5210 current compatibility level is equal to that number.

5238 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
5239 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install

5283 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
5284 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
5285 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

5299 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
5300 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5301 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5349 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5913 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new

5915 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6020 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6021 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6022 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6023 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6024 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6025 I apologize for the inconvenience.
6027 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6028 remove debian/files properly.
6029 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
6030 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
6031 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
6032 * Removed bogus menu file.

6047 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
6048 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
6049 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
6050 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
6051 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

6079 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
6080 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
6081 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6092 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6093 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6094 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6095 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6096 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6097 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6098 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6099 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6100 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6102 passed any switches.

6112 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
6113 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
6114 large chunks in the process.
6115 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
6116 install many oddly named files it died on before.

6152 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

6283 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6284 past week. Thanks, guys!
6286 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6287 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6288 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6289 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6290 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6291 would do in the same situation.
6292 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6293 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6295 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6297 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6298 permissions changed.
6299 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6300 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6301 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6302 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6303 files are treated identically.
6304 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6317 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6318 use -X multiple times, too.

6631 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6632 a given package, or -i or -a.
6633 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6634 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6635 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6636 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6637 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6638 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6640 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6718 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6719 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6720 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
