Changes:
 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  For most parts, it has been replaced
     by the "3.0 (quilt)" source format.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 subroutintes 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)
