+
+  * d/changelog: Fix typo of Felix Geyer
+  * dh_makeshlibs: Ensure t64:Provides is always provided (but
+    sometimes empty)
+  * Replace `d/compat` with a `X-DH-Compat` field in compat 14+.
+    (Closes: #1021877)
+  * Ensure values to --dbg-package and --link-doc are known packages
+  * PROGRAMMING.md: Add a note about `dh_assistant`
+  * Make it easier to re-bootstrap without `dwz` (and also `man-db`).
+    This is a new build profile that build `debhelper` with fewer
+    dependencies. Note that this profile causes `debhelper` to produce
+    a different result in some cases. Packages built with this minimal
+    version of debhelper should be rebuilt when bootstrapping is
+    complete.
+  * dh_shlibdeps: Use ${shlibs:Pre-Depends} for Essential packages
+    in compat 14+.
+  * dh_gencontrol: Automatically apply relationship substvars in
+    compat 14+
+  * Clearly document how to do filtering (which is via dh-exec)
+    (Closes: #1065742)
+  * Reject debhelper config files without a package prefix for
+    multi-binary packages in compat 15. Starting in compat 14, it will
+    now trigger a warning to have `debian/install` instead of
+    `debian/package.install` when `debian/control` contains 2 or more
+    binary packages. In compat 15, this is promoted to an error.  The
+    main exceptions are files like `debian/changelog`, `debian/NEWS`,
+    and `debian/copyright`, which are applied to all packages and can
+    still be used without a prefix. (Closes: #1014537)
+  * cmake.pm: Pass ASFLAGS as ASMFLAGS to cmake [c14] (Closes: #1036760)
+  * meson.pm: Pass --auto-features=enabled in compat 14+
+    (Closes: #1030011, #1062508)
+  * Dh_Lib.pm: Simplify reset_perm_and_owner so it only works with int
+    now. The only misbehaving call-sites where in debhelper itself
+    according to codesearch.debian.net and were fixed as well.
+  * Dh_Lib.pm: Bump perl version requirement to 5.28 (Closes: #1001403)
+  * dh_makeshlibs: Skip directories known not to contain SONAMEs
+    (Closes: #1063126)
+  * Restructure debhelper upgrade compat checklist for compat 14 in an
+    attempt to make it easier for consumers.

+    (Closes: #1062960)
+  * dh_makeshlibs: Improve handling of t64 transition support
+    - The presence of the `X-Time64-Compat` now ensures that the
+      `${t64:Provides}` substvar is always considered regardless
+      of the package name.
+    - Auto-detection is now extended to include t64-nss libraries
+      (The detection regex is now: `m/^lib.*t64(?:-nss)?$/`)
+    - The `${t64:Provides}` substvars now uses `${binary:Version}`
+      instead of trying to guess the version. This works better
+      for packages that manually set their own version via
+      dpkg-gencontrol's -v option.

+  * Add support for an 'X-Time64-Compat' field in debian/control to allow
+    overriding of the auto-generated Provides: as necessary.
+    Closes: #1059941.
+
+  [ Niels Thykier ]
+  * dh_assistant: Exit with code 2 when unknown hook targets are found
+  * dh_assistant: Add the following new subcommands:
+    - `supports COMMAND` can be used to programmatically check whether
+      dh_assistant knows about `COMMAND`. It is a lot better than having
+      to check versions or parse `--help` output.
+    - `list-commands` can be used to determine all "debhelper commands"
+       that will run from a source package (assuming no overrides and
+       no add-on adds a non-standard sequence). This command has a
+       text and a JSON output.
+     - `list-guessed-dh-config-files` can be used to list all
+       debhelper config and their related commands. The result
+       involves a lot of guess work and will never be 100% reliable,
+       which explains the `guessed` part of the command. The output
+       is always JSON.
+     - Add `restore-file-on-clean` with all its caveats. Use it with
+       care for the few cases where it is useful.  (Closes: #1051184)
+  * dh_assistant: Always parse Build-Depends for sequences. This
+    would have prevented `detect-unknown-hook-targets` from reporting
+    issues about hook targets related to add-ons if they were loaded
+    via `Build-Depends`.
+  * dh_assistant: `detect-unknown-hook-targets` now continues when
+    add-ons loading fails. It will still exit with status 2 by
+    default when this occurs as if it found an issue.

+    when the helper was run after `dh_fixperms` and install files that
+    `dpkg-deb` would not reset ownership of.

+  * dh_makeshlibs: Support -VUpstream-Version and -VNone as

+  * 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
+    Robie Basak for spotting the contradicting documentation.
+    (Closes: #898161)
+  * 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: Run dh_dwz by default in compat 12.
+  * 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

+    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.

+  * Dh_Lib.pm: Re-organise exports.

+  * 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 Andreas Tille for the bug report.  (Closes: #897026)

+  * d/changelog: Retroactively add Closes for LP bug #1766102 in 11.2
+    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

+  * 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

+  * cmake.pm: Support ninja as alternative backend (by using the

+  * 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.

+
+  * Dh_Lib.pm: 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.  Previously the option was incorrectly silently
+    ignored.  Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez for the report and the

+  * dh_installxfonts: Apply patch from Nicolas Boulenguez.  This

+    directories.  (Closes: #894227)

+    .
+    Note that the old override_dh_command takes precedence 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

+      systems.

+    dh_install, which ...
+    - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
+    - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
+      mess, as it uses debian/install.
+    - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
+    - doesn't use tar, thus no error reporting problems. Closes: #112538
+    - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
+      all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
+    - supports -X. Closes: #116902
+    - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
+      bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
+    - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
+      designed it seemingly independently. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
+  * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
+  * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
+    other minor changes.
+  * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
+    bad design, you are encouraged to just use dh_install instead.
+  * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
+  * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of

+  * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
+    and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
+  * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occurred to
+    me before..
+  * use v4 for building debhelper itself
+  * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
+    (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
+    many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
+    for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are
+    using.)

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

+  * 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
+    compatibility 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
+    compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
+    deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

+debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
+    It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
+    based on .TH section field and filename extension. I recommend everyone
+    begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
+    evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
+    Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
+  * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
+    but is mildly deprecated.
+  * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependencies instead.
+  * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
+    using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
+    Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
+    if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
+    switching to statoverrides..
+  * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
+    latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
+    thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
+  * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
+    dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
+    has really outlives its usefulness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
+    instead.
+  * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
+    directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
+    `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
+    is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
+    a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
+    Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
+    dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
+  * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
+  * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
+    files.
+  * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
+    variable names, pod man pages).
+  * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
+    debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
+    version number appropriately (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
+    planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
+  * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
+    number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
+    touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

+    - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like

+    although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
+    In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
+    warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
+    notice until v2 is complete.
+  * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatible
+    changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
+    by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
+    debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
+    debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
+    very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
+    switch to v2.
+  * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
+  * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
+  * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
+  * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

+    - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
+      this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
+    - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
+      dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
+      us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorily anyway.
+    - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
+    - I realize this isn't following the recommendations made in Brando^Hen's
+      font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
+    - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
+      as I can.

+    useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all

+    intended to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and

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

+  * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
+  * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting

+  * dh_installdocs: completely rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can

+

+  * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certain version of
+    debhelper to build.
+  * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
+    behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
+    line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
+    first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
+    a given package, or -i or -a.
+  * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
+    "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
+  * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
+    and debhelper's behavior has altered.
+  * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
+    is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
+  * Dh_Lib.pm: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
+    away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
+  * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
+    perl script.
+  * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
+    led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

+    by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
+  * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
+    parameters.
+  * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
+  * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
+    auto-installed as parameters.
+  * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
+    and permissions.
+  * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
+    files.
+  * Added a README.
+  * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
+    the package build directory it is to act on.
+  * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
+    package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
+  * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
