  * dh_assistant: Clearly mark unsafe commands
  * d/changelog: Fix typos in historical entries
  * Migrate to `X-Style: black`
  * dh_assistant.1: Improve documentation and command tagging
  * Improve wording of several man pages.
    Thanks to Christoph Brinkhaus <email address hidden> (Closes: #1069176)
  * Require a package prefix with `--name` in c15 (warning in c14)
  * dh_assistant: Report data about disabled commands in some subcommands.
    This breaks a small subset of the `dh-debputy` features and a related
    `Breaks` has been added.

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Add support for an 'X-Time64-Compat' field in debian/control to allow
    overriding of the auto-generated Provides: as necessary.
    Closes: #1059941.

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh_assistant: Exit with code 2 when unknown hook targets are found
  * dh_assistant: Add the following new subcommands:
    - `supports COMMAND` can be used to programmically check whether
      dh_assistant knows about `COMMAND`. It is a lot better than having
      to check versions or parse `--help` output.
    - `list-commands` can be used to determine all "debhelper commands"
       that will run from a source package (assuming no overrides and
       no add-on adds a non-standard sequence). This command has a
       text and a JSON output.
     - `list-guessed-dh-config-files` can be used to list all
       debhelper config and their related commands. The result
       involves a lot of guess work and will never be 100% reliable,
       which explains the `guessed` part of the command. The output
       is always JSON.
     - Add `restore-file-on-clean` with all its caveats. Use it with
       care for the few cases where it is useful.  (Closes: #1051184)
  * dh_assistant: Always parse Build-Depends for sequences. This
    would have prevented `detect-unknown-hook-targets` from reporting
    issues about hook targets related to add-ons if they were loaded
    via `Build-Depends`.
  * dh_assistant: `detect-unknown-hook-targets` now continues when
    add-ons loading fails. It will still exit with status 2 by
    default when this occurs as if it found an issue.
  * cmake.pm: Remove compat guard for `-DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=off`
    on `nocheck`
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix warning from `cp -n`

  [ Jörg Mechnich ]
  * qmake6.pm: Add cross-compiling support (Closes: #1059209)

  * Dh_Lib.pm: Have addsubstvars check the value for newlines (Closes: #1026014)
  * Stop using (fake)root for mkdirs again.
    Should have been removed as a part of the clean up in the previous
    upload but was overlooked causing breakage in packages still having
    `Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets`. (Closes: #1026125)
  * PROGRAMMING.md: Fix typos

debhelper (13.11.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Remove unused third parameter from install_dh_config_file
  * makefile.pm: Provide hook for subclasses to reuse cross-build support
    (Closes: #1024296)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Revert change where `install_{file,prog,lib}` would use chown.
    The problem that prompted this change was not caused by debhelper but
    by fakeroot (#1024544) and the change in debhelper would not even
    function as a work around in this case.  Accordingly, the extra
    complexity is not worth it and has been reverted.

  [ Luca Boccassi ]
  * Install `installsysusers` sequence (to match the provide).

  [ Gioele Barabucci ]
  * dh_installchangelogs: Trim old Debian changelog entries
    automatically.  Distributions can disable this by using
    `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=notrimdch`.
  * dh_installchangelogs.t: Force locale to be `C.UTF-8` to
    avoid generating invalid changelog entries under
    non-default locales.

  [ Andrea Pappacoda ]
  * meson.pm: Stop providing `MESON_TESTTHREADS` environment
    variable for the install target.  Said variable only
    applies for testing.
  * cmake.pm: Use `cmake --install` in compat 14.
    (Closes: #1020732)
  * docs/PROGRAMMING{,.md}: Rewrite PROGRAMMING into markdown.

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * dh_installsystemduser: Stop masking user units on package
    removal.  They should never have been masked in the first
    place.  See #1021027.
  * dh_installinit: Remove executable bit of init scripts on
    package removal (via preinst).  Related to #1021027.
  * dh_installsystemd: Stop masking system units on package
    removal.  This is no longer necessary with the init scripts
    getting their exec bit cleared on package removal.
    (Closes: #1021027)

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Add `package_type` as a function (extracted
    from `is_udeb`).
  * Dh_Getopt.pm: Fix duplicated `warning` in output for a
    particular warning.
  * dh_assistant: Provide a new `detect-hook-targets` command.
  * dh: Recommend using `dh_assistant detect-hook-targets` for
    checking whether hook targets are correct.
  * dh: Hoist `nodoc` and `nocheck` from `DEB_BUILD_PROFILES`
    into `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS` when they are present in the former
    and absent in the latter.  Emit a warning when doing so to
    aid the user, so they know why this does not work when they
    are later building a package that does not use dh.
    (Closes: #979401)
  * dh: Provide a warning when cross building an `nocheck` is
    absent from `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS` to cross builders, who are
    not experienced with Debian's requirements for
    cross-building.  The warning also recommends activating the
    `cross` build profile and provides a way to disable the
    warning without using `nocheck` (for the special case, where
    people have a system that can run host binaries).
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix bug where `addsubstvars` would not respect
    the `--no-act` parameter.
  * dh_perl: For scripts that are detected as perl scripts
    that would trigger a dependency, normalize the shebang line to
    use the same perl as debhelper is run under (/usr/bin/perl
    in Debian, YMMV in derivatives).  (Closes: #904409)
  * dh_assistant: Provide new `log-installed-files` command to
    help users and third-party tools record which files they have
    installed.  Third-party tools should use the
    `--on-behalf-of-cmd` to have their tool name recorded.
    (Closes: #972724)
  * dh_installexamples: Explicitly recommend `examples/*` over
    `examples` as content for the `debian/<pkg>.examples` file
    to avoid the triggering `.../examples/examples` case.
    (Closes: #1000384)
  * debhelper.pod: Clarify the documentation around `-v` +
    `--verbose` vs. `DH_VERBOSE` vs. `DH_QUIET` and `terse`
    from `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS`.  Notably, clarify that `-v`
    and `DH_VERBOSE` provides the same functionality and
    that they do not cause *all* commands to be shown.
    (Closes: #1002464)

debhelper (13.9.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * autoscripts/postinst-init-tmpfiles: Re-instate runtime check
    before running `systemd-tmpfiles`. However, explicitly check
    for `systemd-tmpfiles` rather than asserting the system was
    booted by systemd. This resolves #1013969 without requiring
    a strict dependency as originally suggested by Guilhem Moulin
    in #1013969.
  * dh_installtmpfiles: Remove the `systemd | systemd-tmpfiles`
    dependency as it is no longer required.  (Closes: #1017441)
  * dh_installsystemd: Ditto.
  * dh_installinit: Ditto.

  [ Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues ]
  * autoscripts/postinst-init-tmpfiles: Only pass `--root` to systemd
    when `DPKG_ROOT` is present (as `--root=/` is different from
    omitting `--root` entirely).
  * autoscripts/postinst-sysusers: Ditto

    (Closes: #997961)
  * d/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.6.1 - no changes required.
  * root_sequence.pm: Run `dh_installsysusers` before
    `dh_installtmpfiles` (only affects compat 14 or later).  Thanks
    to Nicholas Brown for the suggestion.  (Closes: #1011099)
  * autoscripts/postinst-init-tmpfiles: Remove runtime check on the
    system having systemd as init system.
  * dh_installtmpfiles: Replace runtime check on the system running
    under systemd in generated `postinst` script with a dependency
    on `systemd | systemd-tmpfiles` added to `${misc:Depends}`.
    Thanks to Guilhem Moulin for the suggestion.  (Closes: #1013969)
  * dh_installsystemd: Ditto.
  * dh_installinit: Ditto.
  * debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist.pod: Correct description for
    the addition of dh_installsysusers in compat 14.
  * meson.pm: Use `meson install` instead of `ninja install` for
    dh_auto_install in compat 14.  Thanks to Andrea Pappacoda for
    the suggestion.  (Closes: #1006805)

  [ Max-Julian Pogner ]
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Remove double semi-colon.  (Closes: #1010591)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: _strip_spaces now explicitly returns undef on undef
    argument.
    (Closes: #1010594)

  [ Andrea Pappacoda ]
  * cmake.pm: Set FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED to true.  This
    ensures that the `FetchContent` module does not attempt to
    use internet connection.

  [ Vagrant Cascadian ]
  * debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist.pod: Update documentation
    for compat 14 change.  (Closes: #1011404)

  * dh_installalternatives: Improve validation of alternative files to
    catch some "obvious" copy-waste mistakes.
  * dh: Invoke dh_installalternatives after dh_link in compat 14 or
    later. Thanks to Colin Watson for the suggestion.
    (Closes: #1002800)
  * cmake.pm: Drop -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=on in compat v14.  Thanks to
    Vagrant Cascadian for the suggestion and the investigative work on
    this topic.  (Closes: #1004939)
  * debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist.pod: New file.
  * debhelper.pod: Move list of supported compat levels and the related
    upgrade checklist into debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist.pod.
    This means you now need `man 7 debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist`
    to see the upgrade checklist.
  * dh_installdebconf: Support -D/--define command line parameters
    (mirroring those from dh_installdeb).
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Cope with "?=" as assignment operator in substvars files
    to be future proof with (possible) planned addition of "optional
    substvars.  At the moment, debhelper will still always use "=" when
    adding a substvar but it will now preserve "?=" operator if an
    existing substvar is modified.

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * autoconf.pm: Add support for autotest test suites by passing the
    TESTSUITEFLAGS environment variable to `make test`.

  [ Dave Jones ]
  * Rewrite handling of stop services to use the `preinst` when using
    --no-restart-after-upgrade.  This fixes a regression caused by
    the fix for #989155.  (Closes: #994204)

  [ Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues ]
  * dh_installmenu: Respect DPKG_ROOT when checking for update-menus.
    Note this implementation assumes update-menus is present both
    inside and outside the chroot to activate.  If it is absent on
    either side, the update-menus call is skipped.

  [ Gioele Barabucci ]
  * dh_installsysusers: Invoke systemd-sysusers even when DPKG_ROOT
    is set (relying on `--root`).
  * dh_installpam: In compat 14, install pam snippets into
    `/usr/lib/pam.d` instead of `/etc/pam.d`.  Remember to remove
    (now) obsolete conffiles when you bump to compat 14.

  [ Andreas Hübner ]

    Jelmer Vernooij for spotting that bug.
  * dh_assistant: Add new active-compat-level command, which
    outputs information about which compat level is declared
    and active.  It also tells how the compat level was
    declared.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Add new function, get_non_binnmu_date_epoch,

    for known obsolete commands.  In compat 13, this will
    be an error instead of a warning.
  * dh: Reset umask to 0022 as a consistent default value.
    Thanks to Thorsten Glaser for the suggestion.
    (Closes: #944691)
  * dh_missing: The --fail-missing parameter is now default
    in compat 13.  Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the
    suggestion.  (Closes: #917368)
  * dh_installtmpfiles: New command extracted from
    dh_installsystem that will handle tmpfiles.d
    configuration.  Thanks to Michael Biebl for the
    suggestion.  (Closes: #944478)
  * dh_installsystemd: In compat 13, this command will no
    longer manage tmpfiles.d configuration.
  * dh: Run dh_installtmpfiles by default in compat 13.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Emit "error" and "warning" with error and
    warning messages.  Thanks to Paul Wise for the
    suggestion.  (Closes: #906723)
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Support colored output for warnings and
    errors (enabled by default).  The colors can be
    controlled by setting DH_COLORS or DPKG_COLORS.  The
    latter will also affect dpkg-related tools.
    Note: NO_COLOR is respected in the absence of
    DH_COLORS and DPKG_COLORS.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Support substitution variables in files
    handled by filearray and filedoublearray in compat 13.
    This also applies to executable configuration files.
    As the substitution occurs after splitting the files
    into tokens, it can be used to include spaces in the
    tokens (often file names).  (Closes: #198507)
  * dh_install: Support substitution configuration files.
  * dh_clean: Ditto.
  * dh_installcatalogs: Ditto.
  * dh_installdeb: Ditto (maintscripts only).
  * dh_installdirs: Ditto.
  * dh_installdocs: Ditto.
  * dh_installexamples: Ditto.
  * dh_installinfo: Ditto.
  * dh_installman: Ditto.
  * dh_installwm: Ditto.
  * dh_link: Ditto.
  * dh_missing: Ditto.
  * dh_ucf: Ditto.
  * debian/rules: Remove override for dh_missing as the
    --fail-missing parameter is default now.

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh_perl: Use perl:any for perl module in addition to perl
    programs.  Thanks to Helmut Grohne and Niko Tyni for the
    suggestion and analysis.  (Closes: #946655)
  * dh_gencontrol: Clear the "Built-Using" flag for dbgsym
    packages.  It is irrelevant as the original binary will
    have the field plus the field can cause lintian warnings.
    (Closes: #947506)
  * lintian-overrides: Override no-dh-sequencer as it is a
    false-positive that lintian cannot be expected to know.

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh: Skip conditional dh sequence addons in the clean target.
    This avoids FTBFS with conditional addons where the
    build-dependency is not satisfied.  (Closes: #944225)
  * meson.pm: Fix bug where dh_auto_test would break horribly
    under compat 13 due to an uninitialized variable.  Thanks to
    Benjamin Jacobs for reporting the issue.  (Closes: #945149)
  * dh_installman: Fix non-deterministic behaviour when there
    multiple definitions of the same manpage in a package.
    In compat 13, this is resolved by aborting with an error.
    In older compat levels, dh_installman will deterministically
    pick a canonical version (via sort) along with emitting a
    warning.  Thanks to Colin Watson for reporting the issue.
    (Closes: #943705)
  * dh_auto_*: In compat 13+, reset HOME and XDG_* environment
    variables.  Some are cleared and some are set to a writable
    directory that persist until dh_clean.  Thanks to
    Simon McVittie for reporting the issue.
    (Closes: #942111)
  * dh_auto_*:  As a side-effect of the above, debhelper in compat
    13+ no longer trips a FTBFS in sbuild for meson packages when
    ccache is installed but not configured/used explicitly.
    Thanks to Simon McVittie for reporting the issue.
    (Closes: #933799)
  * d/control: Bump Standards-Versions to 4.4.1 - no changes
    required.

  [ Andrius Merkys ]
  * debhelper.pod: Document chagnes to the gradle third-party
    build system in compat 13.

  [ Niels Thykier ]:
  * dh_installman: Avoid error message when man-db is not installed
    (only occurs in debhelper's own build as man-db is a mandatory
    dependency).
  * dh_installman: Use man-recode(1) when available to massively
    speed up re-encoding performance for any package with a non-
    trivial amount of manpages.  Thanks to Robert Luberda for
    reporting the issue and Colin Watson for writing man-recode
    (Closes: #933576)
  * debhelper.pod: Actively discourage compat 11 as it has an
    issue that causes services not to start correctly in all cases
    (e.g. install, remove-but-not-purge, install again), which
    cannot be fixed.
  * dh_auto_*: Support a new --reload-all-buildenv-variables
    option for resetting the cache (of e.g. dpkg-buildflags).
    This is needed by e.g. parted which does two builds with
    different CFLAGS.
  * dh_makeshlibs: Suggest/Document that --no-add-udeb can be
    relevant for some udebs where the shared library for the udeb
    is embedded in a different package (e.g. the main udeb
    package).  Thanks to Nicolas Braud-Santoni for reporting the
    issue.  (Closes: #942454)
  * meson.pm: Fix invalid call under compat 13.  Thanks to
    Jeremy Bicha for testing it.  (Closes: #942690)

  [ Helmut Grohne ]:
  * cmake buildsystem: Fix CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR for 32bit arms.
    (Closes: #941245)

  [ Niko Tyni ]
  * Basic support cross building XS modules:
    + perl_makemaker: run Makefile.PL with host arch Config.pm
    + perl_build: run Build.PL and Build with host arch Config.pm
    + dh_perl: scan host arch include directories for Perl plugins

  * dh_makeshlibs: Fix regression where versionless SONAMEs could
    trigger a rejection of the "generated" shlibs file (despite
    dh_makeshlibs not generating any "shlibs" files).
    (Closes: #939635)
  * dh_strip: Avoid impossible copy of .../debug/.dwz/ to itself
    when a manual debug package contained ELF files and was
    processed by dh_dwz before dh_strip.  (Closes: #939164)

  * dh_installxfonts: Remove version in dependency on xfonts-utils
    added to ${misc:Depends}.  The version requirement has been
    satisfied for the past 3-4 releases.
  * dh_makeshlibs: Correct a control check that was only intended
    for automatic udeb detection, which incorrectly also checked
    when --add-udeb was passed.  Thanks to Andreas Metzler for
    reporting the issue.  (Closes: #935577)
  * dh: Fix bug where overrides for dh_dwz, dh_strip, dh_makeshlibs
    or dh_shlibdeps could be triggered via binary-indep in compat
    12 and earlier.  Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for reporting the
    issue.  (Closes: #935780)
