Can someone explain why this is necessary, and why it had been working
for years without this? I inherited this setup from my predessor
maintainer --- was this just always buggy and worked by chance, or was
this a non-backwards change in debhelper? I just want to understand
what happened and why it suddenly started to fail.
Thanks!!
