Jakub Wilk mentioned on IRC that my dd-list did not include some packages using "DH_COMPAT=X dh_foo" (with X < 5). Thanks to codesearch I have narrowed these down to 11 packages and have compiled an amended dd-list. There seems to be two uses of this pattern: * DH_COMPAT=2 dh_movefiles (seen in gcc-5, python2.7 etc.) * DH_COMPAT=3 dh_makeshlibs (seen in gcc-3.3) My immediate assumption is that they were used to upgrade that particular tool to a (at that time) higher debhelper compat. This is based on: * dh_movefiles does not have any newer features in any compat levels. Though it does have a error case in compat 1 that did not occur in compat 2 or higher. * compat 3 is the first compat level where dh_makeshlibs would emit ldconfig maintscripts. The only other changes in dh_makehlibs behaviour based on compat level does not appear to apply to the particular case. In other words, the DH_COMPAT=X prefix for these can probably just be dropped if/when the package is upgraded beyond the compat level listed in DH_COMPAT. Thanks, ~Niels
