debhelper 12.7ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

debhelper (12.7ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian testing. Remaining changes:
    - Generate ddebs from debhelper instead of pkg-create-dbgsym:
      + Make debhelper Conflict/Replace pkg-create-dbgsym to force it off.
      + Set DBGSYM_PACKAGE_TYPE to ddeb to get correct debian/files output.
    - dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
      level 7 and higher to avoid pointlessly bloating installed packages.
    - dh_strip: Strip LTO sections unless --keep-lto is given.

debhelper (12.7) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]:
  * dh_installman: Avoid error message when man-db is not installed
    (only occurs in debhelper's own build as man-db is a mandatory
    dependency).
  * dh_installman: Use man-recode(1) when available to massively
    speed up re-encoding performance for any package with a non-
    trivial amount of manpages.  Thanks to Robert Luberda for
    reporting the issue and Colin Watson for writing man-recode
    (Closes: #933576)
  * debhelper.pod: Actively discourage compat 11 as it has an
    issue that causes services not to start correctly in all cases
    (e.g. install, remove-but-not-purge, install again), which
    cannot be fixed.
  * dh_auto_*: Support a new --reload-all-buildenv-variables
    option for resetting the cache (of e.g. dpkg-buildflags).
    This is needed by e.g. parted which does two builds with
    different CFLAGS.
  * dh_makeshlibs: Suggest/Document that --no-add-udeb can be
    relevant for some udebs where the shared library for the udeb
    is embedded in a different package (e.g. the main udeb
    package).  Thanks to Nicolas Braud-Santoni for reporting the
    issue.  (Closes: #942454)
  * meson.pm: Fix invalid call under compat 13.  Thanks to
    Jeremy Bicha for testing it.  (Closes: #942690)

  [ Helmut Grohne ]:
  * cmake buildsystem: Fix CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR for 32bit arms.
    (Closes: #941245)

  [ Niko Tyni ]
  * Basic support cross building XS modules:
    + perl_makemaker: run Makefile.PL with host arch Config.pm
    + perl_build: run Build.PL and Build with host arch Config.pm
    + dh_perl: scan host arch include directories for Perl plugins
