4 * Fix error message. Closes: #628053
5 * dh_movefiles: Optimise use of xargs. Closes: #627737
6 * dh: In v9, any standard rules file targets, including build-arch,
7 build-indep, build, install, etc, can be defined in debian/rules
8 without needing to explicitly tell make the dependencies between
9 the targets. Closes: #629139

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

54 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
55 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
56 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
58 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
59 changes may be added to that mode.
60 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
61 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
62 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
63 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
64 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
65 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
66 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
67 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.
68 * Removed old example rules files.

90 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
91 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
92 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
93 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
94 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

102 python-dbg is run it does not win and result in scripts having it in

105 * Avoid open fd 5 or 6 breaking buildsystem test suite. Closes: #596679
106 * Large update to Spanish man page translations by Omar Campagne.
108 * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
109 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
110 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to
111 dpkg-maintscript-helper later on. Closes: #574443

117 to avoid unexpected behavior if the command succeeded but the overall
118 target fails. Closes: #601037
119 * Fix deprecated command list on translated debhelper(7) man pages.
121 * dh: Improve filtering in dh_listpackages example. Closes: #604561
122 * dh: Add support for build-arch, build-indep, install-arch and
123 install-indep sequences. Closes: #604563
124 (Thanks, Roger Leigh)
125 * dh_listpackages: Do not display warnings if options cause no packages
127 * dh_installdocs: Clarify that debian/README.Debian and debian/TODO are
128 only installed into the first package listed in debian/control.
130 * dh_compress: Javascript files are not compressed, as these go with
131 (uncompressed) html files. Closes: #603553

171 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
172 changes are planned for that mode.
173 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
174 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
175 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
176 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
177 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
178 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
179 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
180 (genesis) still uses them.
181 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
182 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
183 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
184 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
185 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
186 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
187 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
188 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
189 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
190 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
191 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
192 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
193 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
194 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
195 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
196 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
197 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
198 commands. (See #570039)
199 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
201 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

243 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
244 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
245 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
246 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
248 * Typo. Closes: #571968
249 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
250 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
251 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
252 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
253 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
254 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
255 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077

621 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
622 contributed by Modestas Vainius
623 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
624 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
625 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
626 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
627 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
628 that support it. Closes: #480577
629 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
630 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
631 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
633 - Adds support for cmake.
634 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
635 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
637 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
639 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
640 that use them. The options are:
641 --sourcedir, --destdir
642 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
643 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
644 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
645 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
646 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

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

1619 specific python version. Closes: #373853

1621 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1623 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1624 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1625 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1626 the not too-distant future).

2001 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility
2002 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
2003 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
2004 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
2005 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3328 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3329 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3330 dh_install, which ...
3331 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3332 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3333 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3334 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3335 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3336 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3337 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3338 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3339 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3340 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3341 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3342 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3343 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3344 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3345 other minor changes.
3346 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3347 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3348 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3349 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3350 course there's -X ..)
3351 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3352 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

3355 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3356 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3357 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3358 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

3434 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3436 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3437 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3438 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3439 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3440 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3441 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3442 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3443 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3444 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3445 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3446 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3447 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3448 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3449 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3450 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3451 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3453 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3486 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3488 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3489 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3490 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3491 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3492 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3493 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3494 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3495 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3496 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3672 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

3674 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3675 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3676 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3677 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3678 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3679 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3680 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3681 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3682 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3707 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3708 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3709 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3710 program those options go to. So, for example,
3711 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3712 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3856 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3857 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3858 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3859 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3916 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3917 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3918 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3919 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3920 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3921 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3922 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3923 but is mildly deprecated.
3924 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3925 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3926 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3927 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3928 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3929 switching to statoverrides..
3930 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3931 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3932 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3933 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3934 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3935 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3937 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3938 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3939 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3940 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3941 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3942 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3943 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3944 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3945 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3947 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3948 variable names, pod man pages).
3949 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3950 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3951 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3952 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3953 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3954 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3955 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4024 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
4025 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
4026 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
4027 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4028 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4029 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4030 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4031 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4032 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
4033 it is an obsolete program.

4119 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4120 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4121 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4122 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4123 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4124 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4126 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4127 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4128 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4130 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4132 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4133 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4134 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4135 should now be raised to severity important..
4136 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4137 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4178 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4179 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4196 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

4371 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4372 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4373 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4374 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4375 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4376 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4377 notice until v2 is complete.
4378 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4379 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4380 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4381 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4382 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4383 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4385 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4504 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
4505 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
4506 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
4507 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
4508 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
4509 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4510 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4512 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4513 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4514 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4515 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4516 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4517 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
4518 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

4596 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4597 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4598 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4599 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4600 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4601 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4602 bits until all files have been registered.

4611 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4612 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4613 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4614 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4615 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4616 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4617 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4618 otherwise change the result at all.
4620 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4621 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4622 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4640 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4641 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4643 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4644 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4645 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4646 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4740 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4741 I made some changes, though:
4742 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4743 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4744 that is a clear violation of policy.
4745 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4746 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4747 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4748 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4749 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4750 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4751 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4752 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4753 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4755 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4798 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4799 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4800 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4801 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4922 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4923 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4924 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4925 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4926 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4927 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4928 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4929 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4930 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5001 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
5002 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
5003 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
5004 it's always available.

5881 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5882 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5883 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6017 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

6048 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
6049 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6063 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6064 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6065 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6066 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6067 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6068 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6251 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6252 past week. Thanks, guys!
6254 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6255 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6256 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6257 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6258 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6259 would do in the same situation.
6260 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6261 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6263 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6265 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6266 permissions changed.
6267 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6268 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6269 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6270 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6271 files are treated identically.
6272 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6285 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6286 use -X multiple times, too.

6548 argument processor in perl.
6549 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.

6559 type directories. (#16933)
6560 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
6561 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6562 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6563 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6564 are supported. (#16935)
6565 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

6579 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
6581 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
6582 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6583 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6584 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6585 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
6586 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

6590 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6592 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6593 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6594 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6596 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6597 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6598 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6599 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6600 a given package, or -i or -a.
6601 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6602 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6603 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6604 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6605 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6606 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6607 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6608 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6609 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6611 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6612 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
6613 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

6635 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6636 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6637 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

6663 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

6684 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6685 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6686 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6687 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6688 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6689 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6690 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6766 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.

6917 the package build directory it is to act on.
