reduce amount of MAKEFLAGS cleaning
Now clean_jobserver_makeflags will only remove --jobserver settings
from MAKEFLAGS. This is simpler and easier to understand than
the old behavior, which, if there was no --jobserver, removed
all -j and --jobs, while leaving those when removing --jobserver.
This relies on -j options passed to make overriding
-j settings in MAKEFLAGS. So we don't need to clean those out,
we can just override them.

split get_make_jobserver_status into two functions
I disliked the complexity of the return values, and the boilerplate
code that followed the two calls to the function, to clean/unset
MAKEFLAGS. To solve both, I refactored it into two functions, one simply
tests to see if a jobserver is specified but unavailable, while the other
cleans/unsets MAKEFLAGS.
This loses the ability to pull the jobs-N count out of MAKEFLAGS,
but that was not currently used.

Support parallel building in makefile buildsystem
1) Add routine to Dh_Lib (used by dh and makefile.pm) which is capable of
detecting make jobserver and job control options from the MAKEFLAGS environment
variable. It also generates and returns a clean up MAKEFLAGS from these
options.
2) Add --parallel option to build system framework which allows source packages
to specify that they support parallel building. Optional value for this option is
the number of maximum parallel process to allow. However, the actual number of
parallel process (if any) for the specific build is determined from
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS env variable as specified by Debian Policy.
By default (no --parallel option) parallel is neither enabled nor disabled
(depends on the external environment). However, dh may pass --parallel to
dh_auto_* implicitly in case 4) described below.
3) Add parallel support for makefile buildsystem. This implementation
forcefully starts a new make job server (or disables parallel) for the number
of process requested. If --parallel was not passed to the build system at all,
the build system will only clean up MAKEFLAGS from stale jobserver options to
avoid pointless make warnings.
4) If dh detects that it is being run by dpkg-buildpackage -jX and it is NOT
run with "+" prefix from debian/rules (i.e. jobserver is not reachable), it
enables --parallel implicitly. This closes: #532805.

Bug#545676: dh_installdocs: option to link documentation directories
As discussed by e-mail, dh_installdocs could do with an option to make
the documentation directory a symlink, to clean up dh-using packages
that otherwise need to use override targets to arrange for dh_link to
run before dh_installdocs.
This turns out to be slightly involved due to the need to handle the
case where you want to do this *and* also install some extra
documentation in the symlink target, while also making a dangling
symlink and avoiding file conflicts in the simple case, so I had to
change dh_installchangelogs as well. I think this is right now; tested
on debconf ('dh_installdocs -Ndebconf-doc --link-doc=debconf;
dh_installdocs -pdebconf-doc') and groff ('dh_installdocs
--link-doc=groff-base').

upstart support
Patch dh_installinit to handle upstart job files in preference over init

not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package that only

drop regex support from remove_command_options
I hope that it will not be needed; indeed I doubt that
remove_command_options will be used much, because sequence addons would
need to try to do conflicting things to need it. And the interface makes it
hard for such conflicting sequence addons to work around the other, since
addons can be loaded in either order. So let's not encourage them too
much, and if there's a use case later, we can made changes.
I haven't applied Modestas's enhanced patch that allows adding an option to
all commands because I similarly think it might not be used. If a use case
comes along we can add something like that.
