Package: debhelper
Version: 7.4.3
Severity: wishlist

the dh(1) manual page reads:

       If debian/rules contains a target with a name like
       "override_dh_command", then when it gets to that command in the
       sequence dh will run that target from the rules file, rather
       than running the actual command. ...

It is not clear what Makefile target name is intended. The underlining
in man(1) reader suggests <dh_command> would be replaces, where it is
in fact <override_dh_> that must be preserved and <command> to be
replaces. A suggestion for rephrasing:

       If debian/rules contains a target with a name like
       "override_dh_<command>", where <command> is one of the regular
       "install" etc targets. dh will run that target from the rules
       file, rather than running the actual command. ...
