Control: reassign -1 dh-exec Control: tags -1 -patch Hi,
I am reassigning this feature request to dh-exec, because it is the primary interface for fancy filtering the debhelper config files at the moment. I am not aware if dh-exec already supports particular filter. The original request is quoted in full beyond for the convenience of the dh-exec maintainer (excl. the original patch, which will not apply to dh-exec).
