[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_strip: Recognise .node as potential ELF binaries that
should be stripped like a regular shared library. Thanks
to Paul Tagliamonte for the report. (Closes: #668852)
* dh_shlibdeps: Recognise .node as potential ELF binaries that
should be processed like a regular shared library. Thanks
to Paul Tagliamonte for the report. (Closes: #668851)
* Convert package to the 3.0 (native) format, so dpkg-source
strips the .git directory by default during build.
* Reorder two paragraphs in d/copyright to avoid one of them
being completely overwritten by the other.
* d/control: Use the canonical URLs for the Vcs-* fields.
* dh_makeshlibs: Apply patch from Jérémy Bobbio to ensure
stable ordering of generated shlibs files.
(Closes: #774100)
* dh_icons: Apply patch from Jérémy Bobbio to ensure stable
ordering of the icon list inserted into generated maintainer
scripts. (Closes: #774102)
* Dh_lib: Add a public "make_symlink" subroutine allowing
dh_*-like tools to generate policy compliant symlinks without
invoking dh_link. (Closes: #610173)
* dh_compress: Apply patch from Osamu Aoki to avoid compressing
".xhtml" files. (Closes: #740405)
* dh_gconf: Apply patch from Josselin Mouette to avoid
dependency on gconf2 for installs of non-schema files.
(Closes: #592958)
* dh_fixperms: Correct permissions of reportbug files and scripts.
Thanks to Fabian Greffrath for the report and a basic patch.
(Closes: #459548)
* The "ant" build system now loads debian/ant.properties
automatically before build and clean (like CDBS). Thanks to
Thomas Koch for the report. (Closes: #563909)
* Dh_lib: Add install_dh_config_file to install a file either by
copying the source file or (with an executable file under compat
9) execute the file and use its output to generate the
destination.
* dh_lintian: Under compat 9, the debian/lintian-overrides are now
executed if they have the exec-bit set like the debian/install
files. Thanks to Axel Beckert for the report. (Closes: #698500)
* d/rules: Remove makefile target only intended for/used by the
previous maintainer.
* dh_makeshlibs: In compat 10+, pass "-X" to ldconfig to
only regenerate the cache (instead of also creating missing
symlinks). Thanks to Joss Mouette for the suggestion.
(Closes: #549990)
* autoscripts/post{inst,rm}-makeshlibs-c10: New files.
* dh_strip: Pass the --enable-deterministic-archives option to strip
when it is stripping static libraries. This avoids some
unnecessary non-determinism in builds. Based on patch by
Andrew Ayer.
* dh_install, dh_installdocs, dh_installexamples and dh_installinfo:
Pass --reflink=auto to cp. On supported filesystems, this provides
faster copying.
* Make perl tests verbose. Thanks to gregor herrmann for the patch.
(Closes: #714546)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Apply patch from Martin Koeppe to provide
install_{dir,file,prog,lib} subroutines for installing directories,
regular files, scripts/executables and libraries (respectively).
* Migrate many "ad-hoc" calls to "install" to the new "install_X"
subroutines from Dh_Lib.pm. Based on patch from Martin Koeppe.
(Closes: #438930)
* dh_gconf: Apply patch from Martin Koeppe to avoid adding a layer
of shell-escaping to a printed command line when the command was
in fact run without said layer of shell-escaping.
* dh_installdocs: Use ${binary:Version} for generating dependencies
with "--link-doc" instead of trying to determine the correct
package version. Thanks to Stephen Kitt for reporting this
issue. (Closes: #747141)
* dh_installdocs.1: Document that --link-doc may in some cases
require a dir to symlink (or symlink to dir) migration.
(Closes: #659044)
* dh_usrlocal: Apply patch from Jérémy Bobbio to generate
deterministic output. (Closes: #775020)
* dh_makeshlibs: In compat 10, install the maintainer-provided shlibs
file (replacing the generated one). (Closes: #676168)
* dh_installdeb: In compat 10, stop installing the maintainer-provided
shlibs file as it is now done by dh_makeshlibs instead.
* dh_installdocs: Remove remark about dh_installdocs not being
idempotent as it no longer adds anything to maintainer scripts.
* autoscripts/*-emacsen: Apply patch from Paul Wise to check that
emacs-package-{install,remove} is (still) present before invoking
it. (Closes: #736896)
* dh_install.1: Document that dh-exec can be used to do renaming
and provide a trivial example of how to achieve it. (Closes: #245554)
* dh_makeshlibs: Apply patch from Guillem Jover to stop adding
Pre-Depends on multiarch-support. The transition is far enough that
we do not need it any longer. (Closes: #783898)
* dh_gencontrol: Insert an empty misc:Pre-Depends to avoid warnings
in packages for using a (now often) non-existing substvars.
* d/control: Remove versioned conflicts that are no longer relevant.
.
[ Bernhard R. Link ]
* Dh_lib: apply patch from Guillem Jover to support case-insensitive
control field names. (Closes: #772129)
* add DH_QUIET environment variable to make things more silent
* dh: don't output commands to run if DH_QUIET is set
* buildsystems print commands unless DH_QUIET is set
(Closes: #639168, #680687)
* autoconf is always passed one of
--enable-silent-rules (if DH_QUIET is set) or
--disable-silent-rules (otherwise). (Closes: #551463, #680686)
* dh_compress: exclude .xz .lzma and .lz files from compression
(Closes: #778927)
* dh_installwm: call by dh after dh_link (Closes: #781077),
error out in compat 10 if no man page found
.
[ Jason Pleau ]
* dh_installchangelogs: Add CHANGES.md to the list of common changelog
filenames (Closes: #779471)
.
[ Axel Beckert ]
* dh_installchangelogs: Consistent suffix search order (none, ".txt",
".md") for all upstream changelog file names ("changelog", "changes",
"history").
+ Looks for "history.md" now, too.
+ Makes it easier to add base names or suffixes in the future.
* dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelogs with .rst suffix.
.
[ Tianon Gravi ]
* debhelper.pod: Clarify "ENVIRONMENT" requirements for Makefile syntax.
(Closes: #780133)

[ Translation updates ]
* pt - Thanks to Américo Monteiro.
