* makefile.pm: Provide hook for subclasses to reuse cross-build support

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.

* Dh_Lib.pm: Provide `mkdirs` to create (non-package) directories.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Make `install_dir` chown created directories when root should be
used for debhelper's own commands. This fixes #1024261 for packages that only
use debhelper itself. However, third-party debhelper tools may still cause
packages with incorrect ownership for now if they are run after `dh_fixperms`
(or `dh_fixperms` is omitted).
* Dh_Lib.pm: Ensure `install_{file,prog,lib}` uses chown when root should be used.
Previously, they would skip the `chown` call and rely on `dh_fixperms`
or `dpkg-deb` to fix the ownership. However, that could cause issues
when the helper was run after `dh_fixperms` and install files that
`dpkg-deb` would not reset ownership of.

debhelper (12.4) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh: Retroactively remove support for manual dh sequence
operators (--until, --after, --before and --remaining).
This breaks about 8 source packages that still rely on this
feature and have not yet migrated away. (Closes: #932537)
Please see the debhelper bug for relevant bug numbers and
package names.

debhelper (12.3) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Translations ]
* Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro) (Closes: #927394)
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_installsystemduser: Fix bug that would neuter sorting of unit
files and make the resulting maintscripts unreproducible. Thanks
to Daniel Kahn Gillmor for reporting the bug. (Closes: #932646)
* dh_dwz: Remove the -q flag when calling dwz(1). It is
sufficiently silently with -q and aids with debugging for others.
(Closes: #933561, #931792)
* dh_dwz: Gracefully handle when dwz fails to create a multifile
but succeeds anyway by default. The previous behaviour of
insisting on a multifile can be obtained by explicitly passing
--dwz-multifile. (Closes: #933541)
* dh_dwz: Skip multifile generation for udeb packages.
(Closes: #933212)
* dh_makeshlibs: Attempt to automatically detect udeb packages
for a given (non-udeb) library package. In simple cases, it
can replace the need for an explicit --add-udeb parameter.
However, there are many cases where the auto-detection falls
short and --add-udeb is still needed (see dh_makeshlibs(1)
for details). Packagers are advised to verify the resulting
shlibs file before removing --add-udeb in an upload.

debhelper (12.2.3) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installinit: Revert "Fail with an error if --name is given but
there is no matching init script.". (Closes: #932073,
Reopens: #462389)
* Dh_Getopt.pm: Produce a better error message when -p<pkg> is
ignored in an architecture constrained override (e.g. during an
architecture specific build and the -p argument refers to an
arch:all package). Thanks to Helmut Grohne for reporting the
issue. (Closes: #932262)

debhelper (12.2.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_shlibdeps: Remove regex anchor when parsing file(1) to avoid
regressions with setuid/setgid binaries. Thanks to James
Cowgill for reporting the issue. (Closes: #932240)
* dh_strip: Ditto.

debhelper (12.2.1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Dmitry Bogatov ]
* dh_installinit: Fix regression where dh_installinit bailed
out on --name if only one of the acted on packages had an
init script file. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for reporting
the issue. (Closes: #932073)
-- Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> Tue, 16 Jul 2019 20:21:32 +0000
debhelper (12.2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Ensure the error function always triggers the same
exit code on termination. Previously, it depended on the
value of the last error (if any).
* Buildsystem/make: Fix regression where cross-flags were
passed in a non-cross build. (Closes: #925175)
* dh_perl: Fix code to prune (skip) /usr/share/doc which
never worked.
* doc/PROGRAMMING: Document that the environment variable
DH_AUTOSCRIPTDIR can be used for testing purposes to
shadow existing or test new autoscript snippets. Thanks
to Dmitry Bogatov for the suggestion. (Closes: #925281)
* dh_compress: Exclude .haddock and .hs files (as this is
customary for haskell packages).
* dh_installinfo: Update NOOP PROMISE to account for
dh_missing's needs. Thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor for
reporting the issue. (Closes: #930689)
* debhelper.pod: Document that debhelper will use
dpkg-buildflags for setting CFLAGS et al and that it is
recommended to rely on dpkg-buildflags's features for
extending the default. (Closes: #923626)
* dh_strip: Make dh_strip more robust with issues from
file(1). Thanks to Christoph Biedl for reporting the
issue. (Closes: #931995)
* dh_shlibdeps: Pass --brief to file(1) and anchor the
output parsing regex to avoid false-positive
misdetections. Thanks to Christoph Biedl for the
suggestion. (Closes: #931996)
* dh_strip: Ditto.
* dh_installman: Improve documentation to be more clear
about exactly which new features dh_installman got in
compat 11. Thanks to Laurent Bigonville for pointing
out the issue. (Closes: #912999)
* dh_strip: Pass --no-sandbox to file(1) when run under
fakeroot and file(1) appear to support the option.
Thanks to Christoph Biedl for requesting the feature.
(Closes: #932006)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Support substituting additional variables
into the generated maintainer scripts. These include
DEB_(BUILD|HOST|TARGET)_* and ENV.* which point to the
variables from dpkg-architecture(1) and variables from
the environment (respectively).
* dh_installdeb: Support additional substitution variables
on the commandline via -DTOKEN=VALUE to replace #TOKEN#
with VALUE. (Closes: #25235)
* d/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.4.0 - no changes
required.
[ Helmut Grohne ]
* Buildsystem/cmake: Fix CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR for mips64el.
(Closes: #926815)
[ Dmitry Bogatov ]
* dh_installinit: Fail with an error if --name is given but
there is no matching init script. Thanks to A Mennucc
for reporting the issue. (Closes: #462389)
[ Translations ]
* Update Portuguese translation (Américo Monteiro) (Closes: #886279)
