Thanks a lot for your work on this. From a sponsoring perspective this
is well done, and while the Debian changelog (snippet below) indicates
only bug fixes, it'd be good to know if this fixes any specific issues
in Ubuntu to make the decision for the release team easier. Ahmed: can
you comment?
8.9.1 → 8.9.4:
------------------
debhelper (8.9.4) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: The --before --after --until and --remaining options are deprecated.
Use override targets instead.
* Assume that the package can be cleaned (i.e. the build directory can be
removed) as long as it is built out-of-source tree and can be configured.
This is useful for derivative buildsystems which generate Makefiles.
(Modestas Vainius) Closes: #601590
* dh_auto_test: Run cmake tests in parallel when allowed by
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. (Modestas Vainius) Closes: #587885
* dpkg-buildflags is only used to set environment in v9, to avoid
re-breaking packages that were already broken a first time by
dpkg-buildpackage unconditionally setting the environment, and
worked around that by unsetting variables in the rules file.
(Example: numpy)

debhelper (8.9.3) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (8.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo fixes. Closes: #632662
* dh: In v9, do not enable any python support commands. Closes: #634106
* Now the QT4 version of qmake can be explicitly selected by passing
--buildsystem=qmake_qt4. Closes: #566840
