Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.52
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Please, include the documentation for the DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_AUTOHEADER and
DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_ACLOCAL variables in the CDBS documentation. I have lost a
substantial amount of time until I noticed that those variables existed.
Attached below is a patch for doing it.
Thanks,
Rafael Laboissiere
