Package: debhelper
Version: 8.1.2
Severity: minor
Justification: cosmetic

Hi,
/usr/share/debhelper/autoscripts/postinst-sgmlcatalog contains:
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
rm -f #CENTRALCAT#
for ordcat in #ORDCATS#; do
update-catalog --quiet --add #CENTRALCAT# ${ordcat}
done
update-catalog --quiet --add --super #CENTRALCAT#
fi
but the command is supposed to be called update-sgmlcatalog (see
Bug#88008) in wheezy (I think?). Rather than a smooth transition, we
get a package in experimental with the following change:
* tools/update-catalog: Documented with POD. Renamed to
tools/update-sgmlcatalog (closes: #88008). Further changes:
- Enable Perl warnings.
- If called as update-catalog (compatibility), print a warning.
- Do not exit with an error using --help/--version (closes: #391609).
- Fixed --version to print the version and not the help.
so I actually don't know what one is supposed to do --- if you use the
new name, your packages won't work with sgml-base (<< 1.99.0), but if
you use the old name, your packages will look buggy with sgml-base
(>= 1.99.0) and drown out more meaningful messages.
But, um, I think you're supposed to do something. Could you talk it
over with Daniel?
Thanks much,
Jonathan
