Binary package hint: debhelper

As the first packages in Debian start to build-depend on debhelper 6, we either have to include debhelper 6 in hardy or change the affected packages back to debhelper 5 instead of simply syncing them. Therefore I've prepared a merge for debhelper.

Changelog since debhelper 5.0.62ubuntu1:

debhelper (6.0.2ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #xxx). Remaining changes:
    - autoscripts/postinst-scrollkeeper: Do not show scrollkeeper-update
      output.
    - dh_installudev: Use priority 50 by default (instead of z60) and '-'
      separator (instead of '_').
    - dh_installxfonts: Use versioned dependency for xfonts-utils. This should
      be kept until dapper goes out of support, to avoid broken dapper
      backports.
    - dh_python: Add 2.5 as supported Python version. dh_python is generally
      deprecated in favor of dh_py{central,support}, but universe might still
      have some unconverted packages. This should be dropped at some point,
      though.

debhelper (6.0.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Revert slightly broken refactoring of some exclude code.
    Closes: #460340, #460351

debhelper (6.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_installdocs/examples: Don't unnecessarily use the exclude code path.
  * dh_install{,docs,examples}: Avoid infinite recursion when told to
    install a directory ending with "/." (slashdot effect?) when exclusion is
    enabled. Emulate the behavior of cp in this case. Closes: #253234
  * dh_install: Fix #459426 here too.

debhelper (6.0.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_gencontrol: Stop passing -isp, it's the default now. Closes: #458114
  * dh_shlibdeps: Update documentation for -L and -l. dpkg-shlibdeps is now
    much smarter, and these options are almost never needed. Closes: #459226
  * dh_shlibdeps: If a relative path is specified in -l, don't prepend the pwd
    to it, instead just prepend a slash to make it absolute. dpkg-shlibdeps
    has changed how it used LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so making it point into the
    package build directory won't work.
  * dh_shlibdeps: Change "-L pkg" to cause "-Sdebian/pkg" to be passed to
    dpkg-shlibdeps. The old behavior of passing -L to dpkg-shlibdeps didn't
    affect where it looked for symbols files. Closes: #459224
  * Depend on dpkg-dev 1.14.15, the first to support dpkg-shlibdeps -S.
  * dh_installdocs, dh_installexamples: Support files with spaces in exclude
    mode. Closes: #459426
  * debhelper v6 mode is finalised and is the new recommended compatibility
    level.

debhelper (5.0.63) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_installdocs: Tighten doc-base document id parsing to only accept
    the characters that the doc-base manual allows in the id. Closes: #445541
