  • Bug#689062: ITP: dh-builtusing -- debhelper tool generating the Built-U

    Hello.

    I have written a tool inspired by this bug report. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1035888
    A full description is available at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dh-builtusing/-/blob/master/dh_builtusing.pod

    This is a proof of concept, any suggestion or critic is welcome
    (especially before anyone starts depending on it :-).

    A separate debhelper tool avoids extending the dpkg interface. It
    should be easier to maintain and document.
    The price is some redundancy. The tool parses debian/control twice,
    via Dh_Lib and Dpkg perl modules.
