+* add all other functionality of debstd (??)
+  - add a program to generate file similar to buildinfo.Debian generated by
+    debmake (wishlist bug #17043). I just never saw the point of that file..
+  - Make dh_movefiles remove emptied directories after it's moved all the
+    files out of them (wishlist bug #17111).
+* something should add ldconfig calls properly to the postinst of packages
+  that contain shared libraries. maybe dh_makeshlibs? But it wasn't designed
+  to do that originally, and even worse, it is often run after
+  dh_installdeb, so the fragements wouldn't go into the postinst. So maybe a
+  new script is called for.
+* info support for debhelper (currently implemented, but I hate how I did it,
+  so it's not in the package.) (wishlist bug #15717)
+* enhance dh_installmanpages so it associates binaries and man pages and
+  installs the man pages into the correct areas to suit the binaries they
+  document. I may need to make this only happen when a switch is given, to
+  preserve backward compatibility.
+* maybe make dh_installmanpages look at the .TH line of man pages whose
+  filenames end in .man, to figure out what section they go it. This would
+  require a switch to turn on, for backwards compatibility.
+* All debhelper programs should be checked that they output files with the
+  correct permissions no matter what the umask is set to. Currently, only
+  those programs that run after dh_fixperms have been so checked. (Checking
+  the rest is low priority, since dh_fixperms fixes any incorrect permissions
+  they might have; still it would be nice to check them too, just to make
+  debhelper more flexible.) One easy fix is to add umask 022 to dh_lib,
+  however, there may be unforeseen ramifications of such a change.
