Here's an example from a package I converted to dh in the last year or so: https://browse.dgit.debian.org/xen.git/tree/debian/rules I'm not sure where I should send this so that the next person with your question finds it (other than just posting it to -devel when it seems relevant). I highly recommend the approach of writing a comment next to each override etc., explaining what it's there for. Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
