-* make dh_install use hard links for efficiency (maybe?)

-* apply patch in #557603 (breaks compatibility slightly; see #560120)
-* clean up dh's handling of options passed onto commands it calls,
- by implementing one of the changes discussed in #570039

- was an incomplete workaround)
-* better package arch filtering for -N , -p (#576990)
* Support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug ; maybe also support passing
-g -O2 by default. See patch (and discussion of why this breaks
compatability) in #544844.
