This bug was fixed in the package debhelper - 10.4ubuntu1
---------------
debhelper (10.4ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
level 7. This floods packages with huge upstream changelogs which
are unnecessary on an installed system.
- Restore maintainer ability to override ddeb compression
- Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym
+ Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
+ Mirror udeb code in dh_builddeb to allow us to alter file extension.
+ Set dbgsym Package-Type to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
+ Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.18.23ubuntu3) so the above works correctly.
debhelper (10.4) experimental; urgency=medium
* Team upload.
[ Niels Thykier ]
* meson.pm: Pass --wrap-mode=nodownload to meson (requires meson
0.40-1 or later).
* dh_install: Fix initialized warning when --sourcedir is absent
on the cmd-line.
* dh_missing: Accept --sourcedir (given it is passed by dh_install).
(Closes: #862049)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix a bug in pkgfile that caused dh to skip helpers
that had configuration files. Thanks to Michael Biebl for finding
and reporting. (Closes: #863387)
[ Chris Lamb ]
* dh_fixperms: Fix regression where dh_fixperms would fail to correct
permissions because it used an invalid find expression.
(Closes: #862003)
debhelper (10.3) experimental; urgency=medium
[ Helmut Grohne ]
* Supply PKG_CONFIG for cross compilation with the makefile buildsystem.
(Closes: #853881)
* Disable stripping during dh_auto_* in makefile buildsystem in compat 11.
(Closes: #844077)
* Remove explicit "Multi-Arch: no" stanzas as they are auto-rejected.
(Closes: #857028)
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Make getpackages() produce the correct result independently
of the order of the fields in a given paragraph of debian/control.
(Closes: #847138)
* dh_installman: Report installed manpages so the new dh_missing tool
is informed about them.
* dh_install: Deprecate --list-missing/--fail-missing in favor of the
new dh_missing tool. The options will be removed in compat 11.
* dh: Run dh_missing by default (in no op mode).
* dh_prep: Clean up generated files so they work like other temporary
debhelper files.
* dh_installinit: Clarify that it might make sense to skip dh_installinit
for a package if it provides a systemd service but no sysvinit file.
(Closes: #800043)
* dh_installinit: Deprecate --no-restart-on-upgrade in favor of the new
name --no-stop-on-upgrade, which does the same thing but is less
likely to be confused with --no-restart-after-upgrade and is more
descriptive of what it actually does. Thanks to Simon McVittie and
Michael Biebl for the help. (Closes: #837528)
* debian/rules: Only apply the --no-parallel to dh_auto_test. The rest
of debhelper's build appears to work fine with --parallel.
* dh_systemd_enable.1: Clarify that --no-enable does not control
whether a service is started and that dh_systemd_start is the tool
that does that. (Closes: #770281)
* autoconf.pm: Set --runstatedir to "/run" in compat 11. Thanks to
Michael Biebl for the suggestion.
* dh_fixperms: Refactor to reduce the constant overhead a bit and
extract some patterns into data list. The latter hopefully reducing
the need for tweaking dh_fixperms' logic.
* dh_installdocs: Document that --link-doc has limitations on source and
target package plus that compat 10 will reject unsupported
combinations.
* dh_gencontrol: Avoid adding Homepage fields to dbgsym packages. Avoids
non-overridable warnings from lintian when there is an issue in the
homepage field of the original binary. (Closes: #812248)
* dh_strip: Fix a check that could cause dh_strip to generate dbgsym
packages when it should not.
* dh: Stop loading python-support in all compat levels as dh_pysupport
has been removed in stretch.
* python_support.pm: Remove the content with a deprecation warning as
the module can no longer do anything.
* dh_installman.1: Improve the manpage to clarify the scope of
dh_installman and provide an examples. (Closes: LP: #184156)
* makefile.pm: Disable parallel installation if libtool is present to
avoid a race-condition in automake when using libtool.
(Closes: #861627)
[ Steven Chamberlain ]
* When cross-compiling for GNU/kFreeBSD host systems, set
CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME to the correct value "kFreeBSD", not "FreeBSD".
(Closes: #856688)
[ Felipe Sateler ]
* dh_systemd_enable.1: Improve the wording of the documentation for
the --no-enable option. (Closes: #844602)
[ Michael Biebl ]
* Add support for meson + ninja build systems. (Closes: #795253)
[ Michael Stapelberg ]
* dh_missing: New tool to handle --list-missing/--fail-missing.
(Closes: #415396, #616070)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Introduce a log_installed_files sub that can be used
to inform dh_missing that a given file has been installed.
[ Johannes Schauer ]
* dh_link.1: Improve the documentation and use ln(1) as a reference
to make it simpler for people, who are used to the terms from ln.
(Closes: #860091)
