Package: debhelper Version: 4.2.32 Severity: wishlist I was just encountering a nasty bug in a package I was NMU'ing -- dh_makeshlibs was run *after* dh_installdeb.
It'd be nice if debhelper would alert the user when ran in the wrong order. For example, it could store what dh_* scripts were already invoked in some subdir of debian (cleaned at dh_clean time), and alert when a script is being ran, while another script that depends on it has already be ran. It should surpress an error (and possibly only warn, or be silent at all) if it detects to be run itself for the second time, to allow for debugging sessions where people want to run things out-of-order.
