Package: debhelper
Version: 11.4
Severity: important
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Control: affects -1 + src:japa

Cross building japa fails because the build does not run dh_auto_build
and when it builds in dh_auto_install, debhelper does not pass cross
tools to make. The actual bug though is not running dh_auto_build. As
can be seen on wuiet, the last archive build of japa/0.8.4-2 did run
dh_auto_build. It's a debehelper change that made it stop running
dh_auto_build. Niels identified the cause: japa passes
--sourcedir=source (an abbreviated long option) to dh. The noop promise
handling does not properly handle abbreviated long options.

Looking further, I think the overlap in options is quite unfortunate and
contributes to the confusion: dh supports --sourcedirectory and
dh_install supports --sourcedir (with a different meaning).

I estimate that around 20 packages are affected:

   [ Niels Thykier ]
   * debhelper.pod: Quote the value of INSTALL in description of
     compat level 11.  Thanks to Josh Triplett for the suggestion
     (Closes: #908906)
   * d/changelog: Fix typos in old entries.
   * dh_strip: Remove empty /usr/lib/debug directories left over
     by dh_dwz.  Thanks to Ferenc Wágner for reporting the issue.
     (Closes: #909303)
   * dh: Disable optimization to skip tools based on command-line
     parameters when dh is passed long options.  Since debhelper
     had implicit support for auto-abbrevation of long options
     and people have started to rely on it, the optimization in
     debhelper/11.4 caused regressions.  The optimization is
     still enabled for short options.  (Closes: #909704)
 .
   [ Josh Triplett ]
   * debhelper.pod: Document how to declare the debhelper compat
     level via the "debhelper-compat (= X)"-method.
     (Closes: #908909)
   * debhelper.pod: Document that we do not provide debhelper-compat
     for experimental/beta versions of compat levels.
     (Closes: #908907)
   * doc/PROGRAMMING: Fix typos.
