-* .so files of compressed manpages -- change to symlinks
 * 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).
+  - .so files of compressed manpages -- change to symlinks. Policy says we
+    need only do this "if it's easy". The hard bit is implementing it ;-)
 * dh_fixperms: allow listing of files not to be touched (diffucult).
 * add a dh_debstd, which mimics debstd, but uses debhelper tools internally.
-* dh_compress: add --exclude "*.conf" type-thingy
-* info support for debhelper
+  Note thatthe idea here is not just another debstd. This program will have
+  a -v switch, that lists all the other debhelper commands it needs to run to
+  do what debstd had to do. The intent is to make it easy to switch from
+  debstd to debhelper.
+* dh_compress: add --exclude "*.conf" type-thingy, sincethat's the change
+  you most often want to make to what it does, and a debian/conpress file is
+  overkill in those cases.
+* info support for debhelper (currently implmented, 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 compatability.
+* 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 compatability.
