This + allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where + build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually + specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965 + * dh: Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch, + but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden + dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages. + * dh: Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new + overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been + too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an + old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only + acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be + a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided. * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip for the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep. * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping. |
