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

+ * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the
