Changes:
 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.
     (Closes: #941245)
 .
   [ Niko Tyni ]
   * Basic support cross building XS modules:
     + perl_makemaker: run Makefile.PL with host arch Config.pm
     + perl_build: run Build.PL and Build with host arch Config.pm
     + dh_perl: scan host arch include directories for Perl plugins
