Candidate revision debhelper_7.4.20ubuntu1

You might want to drop the gconf change. Also does it FBTFS for me on amd64 maverick:

t/buildsystems/buildsystem_tests .. 289/300
# Failed test 'DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=5 with --parallel'
# at t/buildsystems/buildsystem_tests line 569.
# Structures begin differing at:
# $got->[0] = 'make[2]: *** [FIRST] Error 10'
# $expected->[0] = Does not exist

# Failed test '(exit status=0) DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=5 with --parallel'
# at t/buildsystems/buildsystem_tests line 570.
# got: '2'

t/buildsystems/buildsystem_tests .. 298/300 # Looks like you failed 2 tests of 300.
t/buildsystems/buildsystem_tests .. Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)

Please ignore my comment about the gconf change, it was done in Debian.

It build on i386 maverick in Launchpad:

This bug was fixed in the package debhelper - 7.4.20ubuntu1

---------------
debhelper (7.4.20ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian (LP: #583352); remaining changes:
    - dh_installinit: Add --upstart-only and --onlyscripts-upstart modes.
    - Add various autoscripts for above: postinst-upstart,
      postinst-upstart-replace, postinst-upstart-restart,
      prerm-upstart, prerm-upstart-norestart, preinst-removeconffile.
    - dh_installudev: Change default init.d symlink priority to 40.

debhelper (7.4.20) unstable; urgency=low

  * Drop one more call to dpkg-architecture. Closes: #580837
    (Raphael Geissert)
  * Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,
    in a typical package with no explicit architecture mentions
    in control file or debhelper config files.
  * dh_perl: use debian_abi for XS modules. Closes: #581233
