Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20151220
Severity: serious
It looks like
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debhelper/debhelper.git/commit/?id=1bd369cc52115fd179a46d6f8d9af6e9f126ffa8
broke dh_installmanpages, which has
@allpackages=getpackages('');
The new code handles a missing argument but not an empty one.
+ my ($type) = @_;
+ $type //= 'both';
This made at least four packages FTBFS, see
#808592 #808590 #808589 #808588
dh_installmanpages
dh_installmanpages: This program is deprecated, switch to dh_installman.
dh_installmanpages: getpackages: First argument must be one of "arch",
"indep" or "both"
debian/rules:35: recipe for target 'binary-arch' failed
Not sure which side to fix so I'm leaving it to you.
codesearch.debian.net reports no other hits for getpackages("") or
getpackages('') FWIW.
