Package: debhelper
Version: 0.99.2
Severity: wishlist

Rationale: Some install scripts depend on the version or pathes of the 
package being installed. Instead of hard coding these dependencies in
files it would be nice to substitute these things when calling
dh_installdeb, dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installdocbase,
dh_installmenu, (dh_installdocs ?)

in preinst: text #DH_XY# text
calling: dh_installdeb -DXY=foo
in installed preinst: text foo text

Btw: somewhere I read that all wishlist items will be added when hamm
     is released :) Will they included in debhelper-1.0?

In fact, I've had your proposal about this in my inbox for 2 months now.
I've literally been too busy to work on it, but I do like the idea.

I'd like to get 1.0 out first. I'm basically in a small code freeze right now
(1 week more), until I finish moving, then I will release 1.0 and start
adding all these wishlist items.

Thanks. Just another wish (which is related to this one): Versions of
library packages must be hard coded in debhelper file names
(i.e. libstdc++2.9.postinst). An option --basename=xyz for
dh_installdeb could be used to get rid off the hard coded
dependency. debhelper would look for xyz.postinst and so on.
