-Converting from debstd to debhelper:
------------------------------------
-
-Debhelper is designed to be mostly backwards compatible to debstd. I say
-mostly because I haven't made debhelper handle everything that debstd does
-yet, and in a few cases, debhelper does things differently (and I hope,
-better).
-
-In general, you can switch over to using debhelper as follows. In your
-debian/rules, you currently will have some lines that read something like
-this:
-
-	debstd CHANGES TODO README
-	dpkg-gencontrol
-	dpkg --build debian/tmp ..
-
-Debhelper comes with a command called dh_debstd that mimics the behavior of
-debstd, by calling various debhelper commands. So in the root directory of
-your package you are converting, run:
-
-	dh_debstd CHANGES TODO README --verbose --no-act
-
-Notice the parallel to the debstd command above, I just added "--verbose --act"
-to the end. This will make dh_debstd output a list of commands that it thinks
-will emulate what debstd would have done, without actually doing anything to
-your package. The list will look similar to this:
-
-        dh_installdirs
-	dh_installdocs TODO README
-	dh_installexamples
-	dh_installchangelogs CHANGES
-	dh_installmenu
-	dh_installcron
-	dh_installmanpages
-	dh_movefiles
-	dh_strip
-	dh_compress
-	dh_fixperms
-	dh_suidregister
-	dh_shlibdeps
-	dh_gencontrol
-	dh_makeshlibs
-	dh_installdeb
-	dh_md5sums
-	dh_builddeb
-
-Now copy that output into debian/rules, replacing the debstd command, as
-well as any dpkg-gencontol and dpkg --build commands.
-
-Finally, debstd automatically modified postinst, postrm, etc scripts. Some
-of the debhelper apps do that too, but they do it differently. Debstd just
-appends its commands to the end of the script. Debhelper requires that you
-insert a tag into your scripts, that will tell debhelper where to insert
-commands. So if you have postinst, postrm, etc scripts, add a line reading
-"#DEBHELPER#" to the end of them.
-
-Once you think it's all set up properly, do a test build of your package. If
-it works ok, I recommend that you compare the new package and the old
-debstd-generated package very closely. Pay special attention to the
-postinst, postrm, etc scripts, and make sure that the new package contains
-all the same files as the old, with the same permissions.
