Package: debhelper
Version: 5.0.15
Severity: normal

In the xorg-x11 packages we build the binary-indep target with the -i
switch in DH_OPTIONS and the binary-arch target with -s in the same
variable. We call dh_installinit with the --noscripts option as well. I
recently got bug #347705. xdm.init was in the debian directory, and
dh_installinit was getting called during build. Since we've had minor
issues with switch combinations before, I unset DH_OPTIONS when I called
dh_installinit (leaving --noscripts intact) and the init scripts were then
installed properly. 

I don't know if this is a problem with the -s and -i switches, or a
combination of them with --noscripts. I'm willing to rebuild the packages
without --noscripts and with -s and -i to test that if you like.
