Changes:
debhelper (9.20160618) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* dh: Fix bug where "--help" or "--list" would not work
unless "debian/compat" existed and had a supported
compat level. (Closes: #820508)
* dh_compress: Gracefully handle debian (or any other
path segment in the package "tmpdir") being a symlink
pointing outside the same directory. Thanks to
Bernhard Miklautz for the report. (Closes: #820711)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Compat files are now mandatory.
* dh_clean: Remove work around for missing compat file.
This removes a confusing warning when the package is
not built by CDBS. (Closes: #811059)
* debhelper.pod: Add a line stating that debian/compat
is mandatory. (Closes: #805405)
* dh_strip: Apply patch from Peter Pentchev to only strip
static libraries with a basename matching "lib.*\.a".
(Closes: #820446)
* ant.pm: Apply patch from Emmanuel Bourg to pass a
normalised "user.name" parameter to ant.
(Closes: #824490)
* dh_installudev/dh_installmodules: Drop maintainer
script snippets for migrating conffiles.
- Side effect, avoids portability issue with certain
shell implementations. (Closes: #815158)
* autoscripts/*inst-moveconffile: Remove unused files.
* dh: Update documentation to reflect the current
implementation.
* Remove support for compat 4.
* dh_strip: Add debuglinks to ELF binaries even with
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noautodbgsym to make the regular deb
bit-for-bit reproducible with vs. without this flag.
Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the report.
* dh_installcatalogs: Apply patch from Helmut Grohne to
explicitly trigger a new update-sgmlcatalog trigger,
since dpkg does not triger conffiles on package removal.
(Closes: #825005)
* dh_installcatalos: Apply patch from Helmut Grohne to
remove autoscript for a transition that completed in
Wheezy.
* dh_strip: Unconditionally pass --enable-deterministic-archives
to strip for static libs as the stable version of binutils
supports it.
* dh_strip: Use file(1) to determine the build-id when
available. This saves an readelf call for every binary in
the package.
* dh_strip: Cache file(1) output to avoid calling file(1)
twice on all ELF binaries in the package.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Add better error messages when a debhelper program
fails due to an executable config file not terminating with
success. (Closes: #818933)
* dh_strip: Pass -e to file(1) to skip tests for file formats
that dh_strip does not care about.
* Bump standards-version to 3.9.8 - no changes required.
