Package: debhelper Version: 13.29 Severity: normal I was adding a NEWS.Debian file for the first time, following the Debian Developer’s Reference, section 6.3.5 [1], and I ran into some unexpected behavior.
For a source package that builds multiple binary packages, dh did not install NEWS.Debian into any of the binary packages. In contrast, when using a plain NEWS file, it was installed into all binary packages. Since I needed the news file to be installed only for a specific binary package, I had to rename it to foo.NEWS to make it work. I am not sure what the expected behavior for NEWS.Debian is in this case, but I thought it would be better to report it.
