The shell-quoted sed code passed as parameter 4 is fragile (see Bug#665296).
Make it possible to pass a sub that operates on each line via $_ instead.
Also add a basic unit test for Dh_Lib, for now just with tests for autoscript.

acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077

In the beginning, I tried to be careful to have commands that added a
substvar remove it when ran again with different options that caused it
to not be needed. However, now when I look over the code, I see 3 places
that got it right, 1 that was right but I just broke, and a dozen that
don't even try to handle this case.
Also, handling the case is hard; code that adds substvars may be complex
and calculate versioned dependencies. The removal code then has to somehow
also come up with those same exact dependency strings. It's a recipe for
nasty code and maintenance headache even if I went and fixed everything
right now.
Instead, I dropped the whole thing. Many debhelper commands make no
pretense of being idempotent anyway; it's easy and normal to call dh_prep
when starting a binary package build, with the exact purpose of not needing
to worry about idempotency.
I did leave in the delsubstvar function, as well as the option to
addsubstvar that, confusingly, causes an item to be removed. Just for
library compatability reasons.

The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users do
not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package that only
builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that situation.
Closes: #540794

I hope that it will not be needed; indeed I doubt that
remove_command_options will be used much, because sequence addons would
need to try to do conflicting things to need it. And the interface makes it
hard for such conflicting sequence addons to work around the other, since
addons can be loaded in either order. So let's not encourage them too
much, and if there's a use case later, we can made changes.
I haven't applied Modestas's enhanced patch that allows adding an option to
all commands because I similarly think it might not be used. If a use case
comes along we can add something like that.

Add dh addons APIs add_command_options()/remove_command_options() that
allow addons to add additional options which dh will pass to the specified
debhelper commands.

* Move two move command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
that use them. The options are:
--sourcedir, --destdir
* If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
This was done because of a conflict with the --sourcedirectory options
used by dh_auto_*. I originally wanted to make dh_auto_* and dh_install
both use --sourcedir, but that didn't work out.

* If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
* To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
option. This will be converted back to an error later.

"\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
was originally made.) Closes: #349070

set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
* -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

"XC-Package-Type: udeb" in debian/control. See debhelper(1) for
details.
* Dh_Lib: add and export is_udeb and udeb_filename
* dh_builddeb: name udebs with proper extension
* dh_gencontrol: pass -n and filename to dpkg-gencontrol
* dh_installdocs, dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installchangelogs,
dh_installexamples, dh_installman, dh_installmanpages: skip udebs
* dh_shlibdeps: skip udebs. This may be temporary.
* dh_installdeb: do not process conffiles, shlibs, preinsts, postrms,
or prerms for udebs. Do not substiture #DEBHELPER# tokens in
postinst scripts for udebs.
* dh_installdebconf: skip config script for udebs, still do templates
|

* dh_scrollkeeper: Make postinst fragment test for scrollkeeper-update.
Closes: #225337
* Copyright update.
* Include full text of the GPL in the source package, because goodness
knows, I need another copy of that in subversion..

Closes: #112950
* dh_compress: deal with links pointing to links pointing to compressed
files, no matter what order find returns them. Closes: #204169
* dh_installmodules, dh_installpam, dh_installcron, dh_installinit,
dh_installogrotate: add --name= option, that can be used to specify
the name to use for the file(s) installed by these commands. For example,
dh_installcron --name=foo will install debian/package.foo.cron.daily to
etc/cron.daily/foo. Closes: #138202, #101003, #68545, #148844
(Thanks to Thomas Hood for connecting these bug reports.)
* dh_installinit: deprecated --init-script option in favor of the above.
* Add dh_installppp. Closes: #43403

works.
I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
Closes: #40649
* Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
* dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

to say
what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
line, as well as in debian/rules.
* A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
* Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
<taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
Closes: #76352
* Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
(Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
* I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
(debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
prefixed with ".debhelper")

changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
development stalled after only the most important change was made,
although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
notice until v2 is complete.
* Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
switch to v2.
* Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
* Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
* Added a few notes for people still using v1.
* Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
* Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
* Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
start using it.
* dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
* Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

act on files that don't exist.
* dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
(Closes: #51099)
* Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
* In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extentions dh_compress
does not compress. Closes: #41733
* Also, made all extentions dh_compress skips be looked at case
insensitively.
* dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.
Closes: #46039
* Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever.
