Description: helper programs for debian/rules
A collection of programs that can be used in a debian/rules file to
automate common tasks related to building debian packages. Programs
are included to install various files into your package, compress
files, fix file permissions, integrate your package with the debian
menu system, debconf, doc-base, etc. Most debian packages use debhelper
as part of their build process.

Here it outputs information about multiple versions of debhelper,
including rather old ones. Next:
$ dcontrol debhelper/stretch
Nothing. Why? Maybe I just do not understand what `dcontrol' is expected
to do, but I believe two mentioned queries are rather similar:
* I expect debhelper/sid report version in sid
* I expect debhelper/stretch report version in stretch
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
