Package: debhelper
Version: 13.6
Severity: minor
Hi,
while debugging a package build process, I would have liked to see what
debhelper does with dpkg-buildflags. Setting DH_VERBOSE didn't give any
results, so I chmodded dpkg-buildflags to 000. This shows that debhelper
calls dpkg-buildflags but doesn't show that in DH_VERBOSE mode:

dh_auto_clean --builddirectory build-ldap
dh_clean
I think that those calls should be part of verbose output, and it should
be shown what debhelper does with dpkg-buildflag's output.
Greetings
