+  * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
+    help from Julian Gilbey.
+  * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
+    generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
+  * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
+    only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
+  * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
+    5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
+  * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root
+    (#37655).
