* Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
+ * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
+ * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
+ (genesis) still uses them.
+ * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
+ avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
+ * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
+ file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
+ * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
+ subdirectories. Closes: #521258
* In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
* In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
may break some packages. Closes: #557603

* In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
(Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
commands. (See #570039)

Deprecated:
* DH_COMPAT 1, 2, 3, 4. Can be removed once all packages are seen to be using
- a newer version. I won't hold my breath. Now with evil warning messages
- though.
+ a newer version. I won't hold my breath. (2 and 3 are getting close though.)
* dh_suidregister. Once nothing in the archive uses it.
* dh_installmanpages.
* dh_movefiles. I won't hold my breath. Have not added deprecation
