Hi!

Per the discussion upstream (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?38474):

* it had been already announced, in 2005
* it goes contrary to the wording in POSIX
* the upstream change for this report was to give an error message
  rather than to reinstate the behaviour

Since then, dh_shlibdeps has been fixed in 9.20130504, yet there's still
a handful of minor problems elsewhere.  It's easy to find literal uses
thanks to http://codesearch.debian.net, but it's possible the mode comes
from a variable.

I guess it'd be good to file bugs in affected packages, should I do this?

As for fileutils, could you tell me what are your plans wrt 4.5.* upstream
versions?  Are you going to upload them to unstable anytime soon?  If not,
it might be good to patch 4.4.2 to throw a fatal error: that's easy to
spot, as opposed to silent breakage.
