debhelper (13.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh_missing: Explicitly remind people that they should not
    copy-waste multi-arch paths directly into debian/not-installed.
    Instead, recommend the use of wildcards of ${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}
    to replace the hardcoded value.
  * d/changelog: Clarify what dh_installman change in 13.1 related to
    #958343 was about.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Add support for raising compat deprecation warnings to
    an error if there are pending removals.  This currently triggers
    for usage of compat 5 and 6.
  * cmake.pm: Pass -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON -DBUILD_RPATH_USE_ORIGIN=ON
    to cmake in compat 14.  This should fix some reproducibility
    issues but may cause breakage if packages run binaries directly
    from the build directory.  Thanks to Timo Röhling for the
    suggestion.  (Closes: #962474)
  * dh,dh_auto_*: Change the handling of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in compat 13.
    It is now only set to a writable directory for dh_auto_test but
    set to a much shorter directory avoid issues with socket lengths.
    In all other cases, the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is now cleared.  Thanks to
    Simon McVittie for the report.  (Closes: #961655)
  * debhelper.pod: Document that --sourcedir clashes between dh_auto_*
    and dh_missing (etc.).  Thanks to Thorsten Glaser for reporting
    the issue.  (See #964230)
  * PROGRAMMING: Minor improvements and clarifications to the API
    documentation.

  [ Anel Husakovic ]
  * debhelper.7: Fix typo/grammatical errors.

  [ Translations ]
  * Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro)  (Closes: #962568)

debhelper (13.1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh_installinitramfs: Remove misleading "in compat 12" as the
    behaviour was unrelated to the compat level.
  * dh_installinitramfs: Migrate to using declaratively triggering
    update-initramfs as a noawait trigger (replacing maintscript
    calls to "update-initramfs -u", which had the same affect).
    (Closes: #822730).
  * dh_installman: Improve error messages and handling of broken
    section numbers.  Notably, the auto-detection no longer picks
    section numbers that look suspiciously like a version number
    (or a date).  This can cause dh_installman to reject manpages
    if it can no longer guess a suitable section for the manpage
    Thanks to Paul Gevers for reporting the bug.
    (Closes: #958343)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Support that Architecture (among other fields) can be
    folded in d/control.  Thanks to Thorsten Glaser for reporting
    the issue.  (Closes: #958987)
  * SequencerUtil.pm: Fix use of uninitialized variable warning.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Properly error out on paragraphs missing the Package
    field (rather than silently ignoring them).
  * debian/rules: Fix call to gen-provides that seemed to work more
    due to luck than by design.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Provide HIGHEST_STABLE_COMPAT_LEVEL, which reflects
    the latest stable compat level.  Thanks to Jelmer Vernooĳ
    for the suggestion.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Respond to DH_DATAFILES environment variable in
    addition to DH_AUTOSCRIPTS as a means to find data files.  This
    is mostly useful for testing purposes or to be "self-hosting".
    The new DH_DATAFILES is more general than DH_AUTOSCRIPTS and
    enable us to add new data file sources without inventing new
    environment variables.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Require perl v5.24 (available in Debian oldstable)
    to enable more modern features.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix a bug in variable substitution where ${Tab}
    incorrectly expanded to "\b" rather than "\t".
  * dh_installchangelogs.1: Loosely document which file names that
    dh_installchangelogs uses as guesses for finding an upstream
    changelog file.  Thanks to Laurent Bigonville for suggesting
    the change.  (Closes: #933224)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: When setting HOME or XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in compat 13,
    use an absolute path.  Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev for reporting
    the issue.  (Closes: #959731)
  * dh_installsystemd.1: Copy the description for the
    --no-stop-on-upgrade option from dh_installinit.
  * dh_installsystemd: Have --no-start or --no-stop-on-upgrade
    disable --restart-after-upgrade as the documentation says it
    will.  Thanks to Axel Beckert for reporting the issue.
    (Closes: #959678)
  * dh_installinit: Ditto.
  * dh.1: Explicitly document that hook targets can cause
    complications when they are made unconditional by a makefile
    target and suggest alternatives.  Thanks to Marcin Owsiany for
    reporting this.  (Closes: #645873)
  * cmake.pm: Rollback -DCMAKE_AUTOGEN_VERBOSE=ON temporarily as it
    trips bhlc due to a bug in cmake.  Thanks to Nicolas
    Braud-Santoni and "anoteng" for reporting the issue.
    (Closes: #959494)
  * dh_clean.1: Rephrase the description of dh_clean to avoid
    confusion about when it is run.  Thanks to Hugh McMaster for
    the suggestion.  (Closes: #960110)
  * dh_missing.1: Update documentation to reflect that the
    --fail-missing option is now the default in compat 13.
    Thanks to Hugh McMaster and Christoph Berg for the report.
    (Closes: #960107, #960697)
  * dh: Filter out the root-sequence in "--list" output and reject
    attempts to activate or deactivate the sequence as it is an
    implementation detail.
  * dh_installalternatives: New helper that can setup alternatives
    (update-alternatives) based on a declarative format.  Currently,
    the format is converted to calls to update-alternatives, which
    are inserted into the maintscripts of the package.  Thanks to
    David Engel and Fumitoshi UKAI for the original requests.
    (Closes: #43720)
  * dh_missing: Attempt to guess if missing files might be caused by
    the packager installing the same file via a different path and
    let them know of this. (Closes: #960781)

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * autoconf.pm: Pass --disable-option-checking to ./configure
    scripts to avoid warnings about unknown options.
    (Closes: #942813)

  [ Translations ]
  * Fix typo in German translation.  (Andreas Bombe)

debhelper (13) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * debian/changelog: Fix typo of a bug number in the 12.10
    entry.  Thanks to Andy Caldwell for reporting it.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Flag compat 9 as deprecated as announced in
    https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2020/02/msg00000.html
  * dh_install: Remove trailing slashes from value to the --sourcedir
    parameter. This avoids dh_install computing an incorrect directory
    name.  Thanks to Mihai Moldovan for reporting the issue.
    (Closes: #955568)
  * dh_missing: Ditto.
  * SequencerUtil.pm/dh: Fix bug where the long forms of --builddirectory
    and --sourcedirectory might be ignored by dh causing it to skip
    dh_auto_* when it should not.  This is in practice only a problem in
    compat 13 as long form of arguments are not optimized in compat 12 or
    earlier.

  [ Chris Leick ]
  * debhelper.pod: Fix typos.
  * dh_makeshlibs: Ditto.
  * dh: Ditto.

  [ Helmut Grohne ]
  * perl_makemaker.pm: Add missing import of "warning" function.

 -- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>  Wed, 15 Apr 2020 14:44:56 +0000

debhelper (12.10) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh_installsystemd.1: Improve documentation about tmpfiles that
    are now handled by dh_installtmpfiles in compat 13.
  * dh_installtmpfiles: Prefer debian/package.tmpfiles over
    debian/package.tmpfile, but accept the old path with a warning.
    Thanks to Michael Biebl for suggesting the change.
  * dh_strip: Automatically strip Link-Time Optimization (LTO)
    symbols from static archives.  The format is not stable between
    compiler versions.  Thanks to Matthias Klose for the
    suggestion and for providing the exact options.
    (Closes: #939656)
  * dh: Tweak the command-skipping optimization to skip commands
    in a few more cases when the command is known not to react to
    command line options.
  * dh,dh_installsytemd*: Work around broken NOOP promise caused by
    dh_installsystemd* using nonstandard "package@" prefix for
    pkgfiles.  Thanks to Badreddin Aboubakr and Andy Caldwell for
    reporting it.  (Closes: #950723, #951820)

  [ Nicholas Guriev ]
  * cmake: Verbose autogen rules.
  * cmake: Skip install all dependency with compatibility level 13 and
    above.

  [ Andy Caldwell ]
  * dh_installsystemduser: Fix bug that prevented dh_installsystemduser
    from installing parameterized services.  (Closes: #951819)

  [ Translations ]
  * Update German translation (Chris Leick)  (Closes: #951917)

debhelper (12.9) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * debhelper.7: Clarify how DH_OPTIONS works and that some
    third-party tools may ignore it if they do not support
    it.  Thanks to Andrej Shadura for reporting the issue
    over IRC.
  * doc/PROGRAMMING: Introduce a section on the NOOP PROMISE
    comment.
  * dh: In compat 13, skip calls to hook and override targets
    for dh_auto_test, dh_dwz and dh_strip.  Thanks to
    Mike Hommey for suggesting it.  (Closes: #568897)
  * Dh_Getopt.pm: Remove support for "--ignore".  No package
    uses it any more.  For most parts, it has been replaced
    by the "3.0 (quilt)" source format.
  * debian/changelog: Clarify that substitutions change in
    12.8 only apply to the maintscript file (and not
    maintainer scripts) for dh_installdeb.
  * debhelper.7: Improve text in compat 13 section.
  * autoconf.pm: Only consider "configure" as an autoconf
    script if it is a file (and not a directory).  Thanks to
    Andrius Merkys for reporting the bug and providing a
    patch.  (Closes: #949396)
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.5.0 - no
    changes required.
  * dh_shlibdeps: Pass "--" in front of filenames passed to
    file(1).  Thanks to Christoph Biedl for the suggestion.
    (Closes: #949538)
  * dh_strip: Ditto
  * dh.1: Improve documentation for override targets and
    include a section on the new hook target.
    (Closes: #885994)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Make it possible to disable the command
    logging by passing "inhibit_log => 1" to the init sub.
    Furthermore, the logging is now only enabled when init
    is called (and not disabled by that option or
    inhibit_log()).  This prevents Dh_Lib from triggering
    a log write just by being loaded.
  * dh: Refactor addon loading.  As a side-effect, dh no
    longer leaks as many functions into the scope of addons.
    Addons depending on the previous behaviour may now fail
    due to calls to undefined subroutines and will need to
    be fixed.
  * dh_installinitramfs.1: Correct the name of localized
    versions of dh_installinitramfs so that man can find
    them.

  [ Thorsten Glaser ]
  * dh_auto_*: Make it possible to disable build systems by
    passing --buildsystem=none.  Previously this would
    require overriding each and every dh_auto_* tool.
    (Closes: #949635)

debhelper (12.8) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Simplify internal logging of which commands
    have been run.  We are no longer interested in whether
    it was an override target or not.
  * dh: Support "execute_before_X" and "execute_after_X"
    targets in debian/rules.  This is useful for injecting
    commands before or after the command "X" that dh runs.
    Note this feature requires compat 10 or later due to
    internal limitations in debhelper.  Attempts to use
    it in compat 9 will trigger an error.  Thanks to
    Christoph Berg for the suggestion.  (Closes: #885994)
  * dh: Detect and warn about override and hook targets
    for known obsolete commands.  In compat 13, this will
    be an error instead of a warning.
  * dh: Reset umask to 0022 as a consistent default value.
    Thanks to Thorsten Glaser for the suggestion.
    (Closes: #944691)
  * dh_missing: The --fail-missing parameter is now default
    in compat 13.  Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the
    suggestion.  (Closes: #917368)
  * dh_installtmpfiles: New command extracted from
    dh_installsystem that will handle tmpfiles.d
    configuration.  Thanks to Michael Biebl for the
    suggestion.  (Closes: #944478)
  * dh_installsystemd: In compat 13, this command will no
    longer manage tmpfiles.d configuration.
  * dh: Run dh_installtmpfiles by default in compat 13.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Emit "error" and "warning" with error and
    warning messages.  Thanks to Paul Wise for the
    suggestion.  (Closes: #906723)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Support colored output for warnings and
    errors (enabled by default).  The colors can be
    controlled by setting DH_COLORS or DPKG_COLORS.  The
    latter will also affect dpkg-related tools.
    Note: NO_COLOR is respected in the absence of
    DH_COLORS and DPKG_COLORS.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Support substitution variables in files
    handled by filearray and filedoublearray in compat 13.
    This also applies to executable configuration files.
    As the substitution occurs after splitting the files
    into tokens, it can be used to include spaces in the
    tokens (often file names).  (Closes: #198507)
  * dh_install: Support substitution configuration files.
  * dh_clean: Ditto.
  * dh_installcatalogs: Ditto.
  * dh_installdeb: Ditto (debian/*.maintscripts only).
  * dh_installdirs: Ditto.
  * dh_installdocs: Ditto.
  * dh_installexamples: Ditto.
  * dh_installinfo: Ditto.
  * dh_installman: Ditto.
  * dh_installwm: Ditto.
  * dh_link: Ditto.
  * dh_missing: Ditto.
  * dh_ucf: Ditto.
  * debian/rules: Remove override for dh_missing as the
    --fail-missing parameter is default now.

  [ Helmut Grohne ]
  * Warn about missing perl-xs-dev for perl_* buildsystems.

debhelper (12.7.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh_perl: Use perl:any for perl module in addition to perl
    programs.  Thanks to Helmut Grohne and Niko Tyni for the
    suggestion and analysis.  (Closes: #946655)
  * dh_gencontrol: Clear the "Built-Using" flag for dbgsym
    packages.  It is irrelevant as the original binary will
    have the field plus the field can cause lintian warnings.
    (Closes: #947506)
  * lintian-overrides: Override no-dh-sequencer as it is a
    false-positive that lintian cannot be expected to know.

  [ Debian Janitor ]
  * Fix day-of-week for changelog entry 4.0.0.

debhelper (12.7.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh: Skip conditional dh sequence addons in the clean target.
    This avoids FTBFS with conditional addons where the
    build-dependency is not satisfied.  (Closes: #944225)
  * meson.pm: Fix bug where dh_auto_test would break horribly
    under compat 13 due to an uninitialized variable.  Thanks to
    Benjamin Jacobs for reporting the issue.  (Closes: #945149)
  * dh_installman: Fix non-deterministic behaviour when there
    multiple definitions of the same manpage in a package.
    In compat 13, this is resolved by aborting with an error.
    In older compat levels, dh_installman will deterministically
    pick a canonical version (via sort) along with emitting a
    warning.  Thanks to Colin Watson for reporting the issue.
    (Closes: #943705)
  * dh_auto_*: In compat 13+, reset HOME and XDG_* environment
    variables.  Some are cleared and some are set to a writable
    directory that persist until dh_clean.  Thanks to
    Simon McVittie for reporting the issue.
    (Closes: #942111)
  * dh_auto_*:  As a side-effect of the above, debhelper in compat
    13+ no longer trips a FTBFS in sbuild for meson packages when
    ccache is installed but not configured/used explicitly.
    Thanks to Simon McVittie for reporting the issue.
    (Closes: #933799)
  * d/control: Bump Standards-Versions to 4.4.1 - no changes
    required.

  [ Andrius Merkys ]
  * debhelper.pod: Document changes to the gradle third-party
    build system in compat 13.

debhelper (12.7) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]:
  * dh_installman: Avoid error message when man-db is not installed
    (only occurs in debhelper's own build as man-db is a mandatory
    dependency).
  * dh_installman: Use man-recode(1) when available to massively
    speed up re-encoding performance for any package with a non-
    trivial amount of manpages.  Thanks to Robert Luberda for
    reporting the issue and Colin Watson for writing man-recode
    (Closes: #933576)
  * debhelper.pod: Actively discourage compat 11 as it has an
    issue that causes services not to start correctly in all cases
    (e.g. install, remove-but-not-purge, install again), which
    cannot be fixed.
  * dh_auto_*: Support a new --reload-all-buildenv-variables
    option for resetting the cache (of e.g. dpkg-buildflags).
    This is needed by e.g. parted which does two builds with
    different CFLAGS.
  * dh_makeshlibs: Suggest/Document that --no-add-udeb can be
    relevant for some udebs where the shared library for the udeb
    is embedded in a different package (e.g. the main udeb
    package).  Thanks to Nicolas Braud-Santoni for reporting the
    issue.  (Closes: #942454)
  * meson.pm: Fix invalid call under compat 13.  Thanks to
    Jeremy Bicha for testing it.  (Closes: #942690)

  [ Helmut Grohne ]:
  * cmake buildsystem: Fix CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR for 32bit arms.

  * dh_installxfonts: Remove version in dependency on xfonts-utils
    added to ${misc:Depends}.  The version requirement has been
    satisfied for the past 3-4 releases.
  * dh_makeshlibs: Correct a control check that was only intended
    for automatic udeb detection, which incorrectly also checked
    when --add-udeb was passed.  Thanks to Andreas Metzler for
    reporting the issue.  (Closes: #935577)
  * dh: Fix bug where overrides for dh_dwz, dh_strip, dh_makeshlibs

debhelper (12.5.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Dh_Getopt.pm: Skip compat call if d/control cannot be found
    and just assume that auto-abbreviation can be disabled in that
    case.  This avoids breaking options such as --help and --list.
    (Closes: #935017)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Jump to hoops to only parse the Build-Dependency
    field in dh without breaking dh's own --list or --help
    parameter.  This fixes a regression since 12.5 where dh's
    --help and --list options were broken.
  * dh_builddeb: Revert removal of --destdir for now.  It is in
    fact used to hardcode paths in some cases e.g. v4l2loopback's
    debian/rules.modules.
  * dh_makeshlibs: Disable auto-filtering of udeb libraries.  It
    cannot be implemented without violating the requirements for
    the noudeb build-profile.
  * dh_makeshlibs: Fix invalid error under the noudeb profile
    where the absence of udeb content is expected rather than an
    in issue.  (Closes: #934999)

  * dh_makeshlibs: Fix regression in compat 10 and earlier where
    dh_makeshlibs now failed on error.  This safety check was
    intended to be a compat 11 or later feature.
  * dh: Ensure addon API functions return 1 to avoid gratious
    breakage of addons due to perl's idiosyncrasy of requiring a
    truth value at the end of modules.  (See #935016)

debhelper (12.5) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh_strip: Skip stripping of guile-2.2 files by skipping all
    all files matching "/guile/.*\.go$".  Thanks to Jeremy Bicha
    and Rob Browning.  (Closes: #907061)
  * dh_auto_*: Officially adopt --sourcedir and --builddir as official
    parameters.  They have always worked since debhelper defaulted to
    supporting auto-abbreviated parameters, so this is simply documenting
    fait accompli for the most common abbreviation.
  * dh_*: Disable auto-abbreviation of command line parameters in compat
    13.
  * dh: Optimize out redundant helpers even when passed long options in
    compat 13.
  * dh_builddeb: Remove --destdir.  It has never been useful as everyone
    expects the debs to be placed in "..".
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Add a hint to resolve the error caused by having the
    compat level specified both as a build-dependency and in
    debian/compat.  Thanks to Alessandro Grassi for reporting the issue
    on IRC.
  * dh_makeshlibs: Fix bug where --no-add-udeb could trigger the
    auto-detection code.  (Closes: #934891)
  * dh_makeshlibs: When using the auto-detection of udeb, automatically
    exclude "udeb:" lines for libraries omitted from the udeb.  At the
    same time, verbosely fail if the udeb contains a library not present
    in the deb (overridable with --add-udeb).  (Closes: #934889)
  * dh: Support making "dh-sequence-ADDON" Build-Depends relation
    conditional on build-profiles (etc.).  If the relation is ignored due
    to the current build-profiles (etc.), then addon is silently skipped.
  * dh: Support running addons in "arch-only" or "indep-only" mode by
    adding "dh-sequence-ADDON" in Build-Depends-Arch or
    Build-Depends-Indep (respectively).  Not all addons support this and
    will trigger an error at load time.  Addon providers should ensure
    that their package provde "dh-sequence-ADDON" and review the
    doc/PROGRAMMING document (in the debhelper source) if they are
    considering to make their addon compatible with these requirements.
    (Closes: #836699)
  * dh,elf_tools.pm: Extract the ELF related debhelper tools (dh_strip,
    dh_dwz, dh_makeshlibs, dh_shlibdeps) into their own addon called
    "elf-tools" enabled by the default.
  * debian/control: Provide dh-sequence-elf-tools.
  * dh: In compat 13, the "elf-tools" addon is considered an implicit
    "arch-only" addon (i.e. they are only available in "-arch" sequences
    and are always passed a "-a").  If you need the ELF tools for arch:all
    packages, please add an explicit Builds-Depends on dh-sequence-elf-tools.

  [ Frank Schaefer ]
  * dh_installmodules: Also look for compressed kernel modules
    in addition to uncompressed kernel modules (gz, bz2 or xz).

  [ Adam Borowski ]
  * d/s/lintian-overrides: Override lintian warning about debhelper
    not using debhelper.

debhelper (12.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * dh: Retroactively remove support for manual dh sequence
    operators (--until, --after, --before and --remaining).
    This breaks about 8 source packages that still rely on this
    feature and have not yet migrated away.  (Closes: #932537)

    package names.

    files and make the resulting maintscripts unreproducible.  Thanks
    to Daniel Kahn Gillmor for reporting the bug.  (Closes: #932646)
  * dh_dwz: Remove the -q flag when calling dwz(1).  It is
    sufficiently silently with -q and aids with debugging for others.
    (Closes: #933561, #931792)
  * dh_dwz: Gracefully handle when dwz fails to create a multifile
    but succeeds anyway by default.  The previous behaviour of
    insisting on a multifile can be obtained by explicitly passing
    --dwz-multifile.  (Closes: #933541)
  * dh_dwz: Skip multifile generation for udeb packages.
    (Closes: #933212)
  * dh_makeshlibs: Attempt to automatically detect udeb packages
    for a given (non-udeb) library package.  In simple cases, it
    can replace the need for an explicit --add-udeb parameter.
    However, there are many cases where the auto-detection falls
    short and --add-udeb is still needed (see dh_makeshlibs(1)
    for details).  Packagers are advised to verify the resulting
    shlibs file before removing --add-udeb in an upload.

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * Dh_Lib: Ensure the error function always triggers the same
    exit code on termination.  Previously, it depended on the

  * dh_compress: Exclude .haddock and .hs files (as this is
    customary for haskell packages).

    dh_missing's needs.  Thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor for
    reporting the issue.  (Closes: #930689)
  * debhelper.pod: Document that debhelper will use
    dpkg-buildflags for setting CFLAGS et al and that it is
    recommended to rely on dpkg-buildflags's features for
    extending the default.  (Closes: #923626)
  * dh_strip: Make dh_strip more robust with issues from
    file(1).  Thanks to Christoph Biedl for reporting the
    issue.  (Closes: #931995)
  * dh_shlibdeps: Pass --brief to file(1) and anchor the
    output parsing regex to avoid false-positive
    misdetections.  Thanks to Christoph Biedl for the
    suggestion.  (Closes: #931996)
  * dh_strip: Ditto.
  * dh_installman: Improve documentation to be more clear
    about exactly which new features dh_installman got in
    compat 11.  Thanks to Laurent Bigonville for pointing
    out the issue.  (Closes: #912999)
  * dh_strip: Pass --no-sandbox to file(1) when run under
    fakeroot and file(1) appear to support the option.
    Thanks to Christoph Biedl for requesting the feature.
    (Closes: #932006)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Support substituting additional variables
    into the generated maintainer scripts.  These include
    DEB_(BUILD|HOST|TARGET)_* and ENV.* which point to the
    variables from dpkg-architecture(1) and variables from
    the environment (respectively).
  * dh_installdeb: Support additional substitution variables
    on the commandline via -DTOKEN=VALUE to replace #TOKEN#
    with VALUE.  (Closes: #25235)

  * Buildsystem.pm: Fix use of undefined variable in certain
    error conditions.

    alternative to passing -V or omitting -V respectively.
  * dh_makeshlibs: Make -VUpstream-Version the default in
    compat 12 when -V is omitted.  (Closes: #896464)
  * dh_makeshlibs: Correct handling of an explicit -V when
    a source builds multiple library packages and provides
    explicit shlibs files for a subset of them.  Previously,
    the -V option could have been ignored for some of the
    packages containing libraries.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Fall back to a regular mv(1) when rename fails
    with EXDEV (cross mount point moves).  This restores
    debhelper's ability to move files between mount points,
    which can happen in dh_builddeb has to correct the
    extension of a binary package built by dpkg-deb.
    Thanks to Evan Krall for the report.  (Closes: #897569)
  * dh_missing.1: Consistently mention that dh_missing
    defaults to --list-missing in compat 12.  Thanks to

  * dh_compress:  Avoid adding a duplicate ".gz" extension on
    a symlink if it already has it.  This can happen e.g. with
    dh_installman recompresses a manpage that was compressed and
    had a valid symlink to it.  Thanks to Andreas Hasenack for
    reporting the bug.  (Closes: LP: #1765851)

  * dh_dwz: Remove warning about the dwz feature being experimental.
  * dwz.pm: Ditto.
  * dh_installsystemd: Use the basename of the "tmpfiles" config
    files.  This makes "systemd-tmpfiles --create" search for it
    in both /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d and in /etc/tmpfiles.d.  With
    this change the system administrator can now override the
    "tmpfiles" config shipped by the package in
    /usr/libtmpfiles.d.  Thanks to Nick Groenen and Seyeong Kim
    for filing the bug.  (Closes: #894510)
  * dh_installinit: Ditto.
  * dh_installchangelogs: Look for changelog files installed by the
    upstream build system in the package build dir (i.e. d/<pkg>/
    and *not* debian/tmp!) and use them in preference to the one in the
    source package where available.  This avoids some cases of duplicated
    upstream changelogs.  Thanks to Evgeni Golov for the suggestion.

    suggestion.  (Closes: #491027)
  * installinitramfs.pm: New sequence to enable dh_installinitramfs in
    compat 11 and earlier.
  * dh_installdirs: Add --(no-)create-in-sourcedir option to make
    dh_installdirs create directories in the source directory in addition
    in the package build directory.  Furthermore, dh_installdirs now
    accepts --sourcedir to overrule the default source directory (just
    like e.g. dh_install).  Thanks to Robert Luberda for the suggestion.
    (Closes: #816332)
  * Buildsystem.pm: Move code from Dh_Buildsystems.pm to Buildsystem.pm
    to make the latter independent of the former.  This makes it possible
    to load Buildsystem.pm without debian/control being present.  Thanks

  * dh_installinit.1: Fix some incorrect markup in the documentation of
    --no-enable.
  * makefile.pm: Revert the use of -O/-Oline for make, which helps

    release.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Correct control parser to permit zero or more leading
    space after the "Section" field (instead of "exactly one" space).
  * python_distutils.pm: Deprecate the python-distutils build system
    and mark it as removed in compat 12.  Users are recommended to
    migrate to the third-party build system called "pybuild".  This
    deprecation implies that python3 (among other) will not be
    supported in the python-distutils build system.

    (Closes: #895174, #895181)
  * Buildsystems: Avoid choosing a build system for the clean
    step if it is not necessary.  Previously, debhelper could
    choose a "random" build system that would prefer building
    in a separate build directory on the basis that the build
    directory should be removed.  With this, change we only
    choose such a build system if there is a build directory

  * debhelper.7: Add a ~ to the suggested Build-Depends to ensure
    backports also work for debhelper with single integer versions.
    Thanks to Trent W. Buck for the suggestion.  (Closes: #894666)
  * makefile.pm: Use -Oline with make.  This avoids make mistaking
    a target name for a value for -O and should make build time
    outs less likely for "long" targets.  (Closes: #894573)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix bug that make debhelper trip on packages with
    the version "0".  Thanks to Chris Lamb for reporting the bug
    plus debugging the issue.  (Closes: #894895, LP: #1766102)
  * Buildsystem.pm: Rewrite to support build systems that generate
    build files for another build system (without using
    inheritance).  This enables generator build systems to have
    multiple backends.
  * cmake.pm: Support ninja as alternative backend (by using the
    build system cmake+ninja).  Thanks to Kyle Edwards for the
    suggestion.  (Closes: #895044)
  * meson.pm: Rewrite as a generator build system with ninja as
    the only backend.
  * debhelper.7: Recommend packagers to use "debian/<pkg>.<file>"
    over "debian/<file>" in most cases.  Thanks to Johannes
    Schauer for the suggestion.
  * dh_usrlocal: Implement a simple guard for directories that
    will likely cause issues in the shell snippets.
  * dh_usrlocal: Use the new rules from Debian Policy 4.1.4 to
    determine the default ownership and mode for directories.
  * d/control: Bump Standards-Versions to 4.1.4.  Beyond the
    dh_usrlocal change listed above, no changes were required.

  [ Nicolas Boulenguez ]
  * dh_installxfonts: Fix typo that causes a misc:Depends on

    by dh_usrlocal could remove a directory directly in /usr/local.
    (Closes: #894549)

debhelper (11.1.6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Dh_Lib: Avoid passing invalid parameters to a function, which
    caused tons of "package ARRAY(...) is not in control info"
    warnings from dh in some cases.  It triggers when dh thinks
    the package might have architecture qualified debhelper config
    files.  The warning is harmless (besides the noise) for all
    native builds and most cross builds, but it did invalidate
    attempt to make pkgfile() use "DEB_TARGET_ARCH{,_OS}"
    (see 11.1.5~alpha1).  Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for reporting
    the issue.  (Closes: #891546)
  * dh: Refactor handling of sequences to simplify some code paths.
  * autopkgtests: Remove "use-name" tests as it no longer works.
    The debhelper module makes assumptions in which directory it is
    run from and the test breaks these assumptions.
  * debian/control: Comment out versioned dependency on make.
    It is not strictly necessary for Debian and causes issues with
    make-guile.  On the other hand, it is useful for people
    backporting debhelper on derivatives and hench leaving it as a
    comment.  (Closes: #892586)
  * debian/control: Bump dependency on dh-autoreconf for the fix for
    #889567.
  * dh_installinfo: Accept --sourcedir like the documentation says
    for compat 11.  Prevently the option was incorrectly silently
    ignored.  Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez for the report and the
    patch.  (Closes: #894226)
  * dh_ucf.1: Apply patch from Nicolas Boulenguez to add missing
    documentation of the "--all" and non-option parameters.
    (Closes: #894228)
  * dh_installxfonts: Apply patch from Nicolas Boulenguez.  This
    ensures that the generated maintscript snippets are bit-for-bit
    reproducible when a package ships xfons in multiple fonts
    directories.  (Closes: #894227)
  * Dh_Lib: Improve the "make_symlink" code to avoid non-compliant
    symlinks when the link name was not a normalized path.  Note
    that ".."-segments are now disallowed in the link name (but not
    the link target).  Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez for reporting
    the bug plus the test cases.  (Closes: #894229)
  * dh_installinfo: Report installed files to dh_missing.  Thanks
    to Daniel Kahn Gillmor for reporting this omission.
    (Closes: #893160)
  * Dh_Lib: Make Dh_Lib loadable again without a debian/control being

  * autoscripts/postinst-systemd-restart: Apply patch from
    Christoph Biedl to fix indentation.  (Closes: #890373)
  * dh_testroot: With the advent of DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT, it
    no longer needs to read debian/control to tell whether root
    is needed or not.  However, the warning remains for calling
    dh_testroot outside the source root (as we may need to check
    the compat level in a future version of debhelper).
  * makefile.pm: Synchronize output from make (via -O) when
    make runs in parallel except when STDOUT is a TTY.  Thanks
    to Goswin von Brederlow for the suggestion.  (Closes: #768791)
  * dh_gencontrol: Avoid uninitialized value warning when there
    are no build-ids (e.g. because the builder disabled the
    dbgsym building via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS).  This regression
    was introduced in 11.1.  Thanks to Christian Marillat for
    reporting the bug.  (Closes: #890736)
  * Dh_Lib: pkgfile() now properly uses for DEB_TARGET_ARCH{,_OS}
    when the package is set to be built for the target
    architecture.
  * d/control: Drop dependency on binutils; it does not reflect
    our actual requirement and the package or builder will ensure
    that the current binutils is installed for other reasons
    any way.  Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the report.

  * d/control: Remove Bernhard R. Link from uploaders as he does
    not appear to be active in debhelper at the moment.  Thanks
    to Bernhard for his past contributions.
  * d/control: Bump (Build-)Dependency on dpkg to ensure that
    dpkg provides DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT and DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD
    as a part of its Rules-Requires-Root support.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Rely on DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT instead of the
    field to determine whether or not tools may "root-only"
    actions (such as chown'ing).
  * d/control: Bump dependency on dh-autoreconf to ensure that
    packages do not experience #887482.

  * qmake.pm: Add missing import of generated_file.
  * meson.pm: Find typo of meson in the name of the cross config
    file.
  * qmake.pm: Push compiler information as ‘early’ flags to qmake, to
    make sure qmake calls the right compiler to get library paths.
  * qmake.pm: Add all possible settings to generated qmake-cross.conf.
    Now output of ‘qmake -query’ with and without using this file is
    identical. This makes cross-building Qt’s own modules possible.

  * dh_missing: Permit a missing debian/tmp without failing in
    compat 11 when debian/tmp is an implicit source directory.
    Thanks to Christoph Biedl for reporting the bug.

    entries.
  * Use HTTPS in debian/copyright format URL.

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * Remove support for named compat levels.
  * dh_perl: Make dh_perl faster on packages with large doc
    directories by pruning the entire doc directory.
  * dh,dh_auto_*: Support skipping all of the dh_auto_* helpers if the
    package does not seem to have a build system (and there are no build
    system related options passed to dh).
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Define a (hardcoded) extension for dbgsym packages.
  * dh_gencontrol: Pass -DPackage-Type to dpkg-gencontrol when the
    package type for dbgsym is different than for regular deb packages.
  * dh_builddeb: Automatically handle renaming of dbgsym packages when
    the extension of the dbgsym packages are different than for regular
    deb packages.
  * dh_installsystemd,dh_systemd_start: Use "restart" instead of the
    "try-restart" action.  This ensures that newly added services are
    started the first time they are installed.  (Closes: #879727,

    package as long as another on being acted on ships it.
  * dh_installsystemd: Optimize the search for files installed in the
    tmpfiles.d directories to only look in the tmpfiles.d directories.
  * Add experimental support for building some packages for "TARGET"
    rather than "HOST" via the X-DH-Build-For-Type field.  The field
    is subject to removal and changes without notice.  The field is
    not considered by dpkg tooling and therefore you will still have
    to manually work around tools like dpkg-gencontrol (even when
    called via dh_gencontrol).
  * dh_makeshlibs: Ignore non-ELF files even if they are named ".so".

  * Dh_Lib: Improve the performance of isnative by using
    Dpkg::Changelog::Parse instead of calling dpkg-parsechangelog as
    an external process.  This improves the performance of
    dh_installchangelogs by ~10%.

  * dh_dwz: Add new experimental tool to run dwz(1) to deduplicate
    ELF debugging symbols.  It should be generally be run before
    dh_strip (as dh_strip compresses the debug symbols and dwz
    expects uncompressed debug symbols).  (Closes: #878888)

    This can cause a weird "Please specify the compatibility level in

    see that it may need to run a helper that would install no

  * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
    to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
    allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
    build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
    specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
    .
    Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
    but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
    dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
    .
    Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
    overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
    too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
    old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
    acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
    a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
  * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
    in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
  * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
    rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.

debhelper (7.9.2) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
    changes are planned for that mode.
  * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
  * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
    target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
    Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
  * 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
    libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
    used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
    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)
  * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
    Closes: #578805
  * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

  * Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,
    in a typical package with no explicit architecture mentions
    in control file or debhelper config files.

debhelper (7.4.16) unstable; urgency=low

  * Updated French translation.
  * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
    with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
  * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
    not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
    Closes: #570373
  * Typo. Closes: #571968
  * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
    to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
    failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
    target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
    can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
    packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
    is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
  * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702
  * dh: Allow --list-addons to be used when not in a source package.
    Closes: #574351

  * dh_bugfiles: Doc typo. Closes: #563269
  * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
    something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
  * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
  * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
    options that they do not support.
  * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
    This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
    that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773
    (It also ensures that the commands dh prints out can really be run.)
  * qmake: New buildsystem contributed by Kel Modderman. Closes: #566840

    without limiting the max number of parallel jobs. (Modestas Vainius)
  * dh_makeshlibs: Temporarily revert fix for #557603, as it caused
    dpkg-gensymbols to see libraries not in the regular search path and
    broke builds. This will be re-enabled in v8. Closes: #560217

debhelper (7.4.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
    be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
    some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)
  * dh: Document --no-act. Closes: #557505
  * dh_makeshlibs: Make -X also exclude libraries from the symbols file.

debhelper (7.4.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
    of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop
    after it sees one line of output from make. (This may be better replaced
    with dh's makefile parser in the future.) Closes: #557307

debhelper (7.4.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
    now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
    DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
  * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
    or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
    building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
    parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
  * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
    debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
    mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
  * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
  * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
    options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
    time soon.) Closes: #554509
  * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
    Closes: #548382
  * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
    (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899
  * dh_installdocs: Warn if a doc-base file cannot be parsed to find a
    document id. Closes: #555677
  * Typo. Closes: #555659
  * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
    Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
  * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
    it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
    Closes: #556384
  * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
    autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
    makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

  * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users

  * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
    contributed by Modestas Vainius
    - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
      directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
      than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
    - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
      directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
      that support it. Closes: #480577
    - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
      build system, or force use of a third-party class.
    - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
      systems.
    - Adds support for cmake.
    - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
      instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
      Closes: #534332
    - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
      large changes..
  * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
    that use them. The options are:
    --sourcedir, --destdir
    If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
    they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
  * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
    and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
    commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

  * dh_install: Fix fallback use of debian/tmp in v7 mode; a bug caused

    warning or deprecation message.
  * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
    maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
    via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
    dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
    the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
    END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
    some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

    --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
    --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
  * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
    they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
  * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
    use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
    option. This will be converted back to an error later.

  * dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these
    eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
    than the old method.
  * Remove rules.simple example, there's little need to use explicit targets

    daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
    its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
    while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default
    in a future (v8) compatibility level. Closes: #471060

  * dh: Fix man page typos. Closes: #477933
  * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
  * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
    run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
    daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
    dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
    only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
    logging by dh_listpackages.

debhelper (7.0.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh: New program that runs a series of debhelper commands in a sequence.
    This can be used to construct very short rules files (as short as 3
    lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
    needed.
  * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
    Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
    options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
  * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
    running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
    planned but not yet implemented.)
  * dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
    if the Makefile has such a target.
  * dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
    or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.
  * dh_auto_install: New program, automates running make install, or using
    setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
    MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
    but not yet implemented.)
  * New v7 mode, which only has three changes from v6, and is the new
    recommended default, especially when using dh.
  * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
    files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This
    allows dh_install to interoperate with dh_auto_install without needing any
    special parameters.
  * dh_clean: In v7 mode, read debian/clean and delete all files listed
    therein.
  * dh_clean: In v7 mode, automatically delete *-stamp files.
  * Add a Makefile and simplify this package's own rules file using
    all the new toys.
  * dh_clean: Don't delete core dumps. (Too DWIM, and "core" is not
    necessarily a core dump.) Closes: #477391
  * dh_prep: New program, does the same as dh_clean -k (which will be
    deprecated later).

  * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
  * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
    x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
    probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
    slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

    - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
    - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
      dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
    - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
      instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
      specific python version. Closes: #373853
    - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
      maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
      provides.
    - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
      policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
      new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
      the not too-distant future).
      DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.

    prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
    as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are

  * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility
    level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5

    adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
    the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.
