Comment 11 for bug 1519228

This bug was fixed in the package debhelper - 9.20151117ubuntu1

---------------
debhelper (9.20151117ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - autoscripts/*-init*: Test for /etc/init/*.conf where necessary. This
      uses the #SCRIPT# macro twice, thus in dh_installinit, replace all
      occurrences of that not just the first one.
    - dh_installchangelogs: Do not install upstream changelog in compat
      level 7. This floods packages with huge upstream changelogs which
      take precious CD space.
    - dh_installinit: Add dependency to lsb-base >= 4.1+Debian11ubuntu7 that
      provides the upstart LSB hook, to avoid upgrade breakage. This change
      can be dropped after 16.04 LTS.
  * Dropped Ubuntu changes:
    - dh_installudev: Change default rules.d symlink priority to 40. This
      change has been pointless for a long time, Debian and Ubuntu use the
      upstream udev rules.
    - dh_installinit: Add no-op --upstart-only option for compatibility. The
      remaining packages that used this got fixed. (LP: #1519228)
    - autoscripts/preinst-upstart-compatibility: Handle upgrades from older
      versions that created the /lib/init/upstart-job symlink. This was done
      in saucy and thus finished in trusty.

debhelper (9.20151117) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh_clean: Temporarily interpret the absence of d/compat and
    DH_COMPAT to mean compat 5. This is to avoid breaking
    packages that rely on cdbs to set debian/compat to 5 during
    the build. This temporary work around will live until
    d/compat becomes mandatory. (Closes: #805404)

  [ Translations ]
  * Update German translation (Chris Leick)
    (Closes: #802198)

debhelper (9.20151116) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Niels Thykier ]
  * dh_strip: Sort build-ids to make the Build-Ids header
    reproducible.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Respect --no-act in autotrigger, thanks to
    Andreas Henriksson and Helmut Grohne for reporting
    the issue. (Closes: #800919)

    for reporting them.
  * dh_clean: Avoid cleaning up debian/.debhelper when
    passed the "-d" flag.
  * Dh_Lib.pm: Reject compat levels earlier than 3.
  * dh_clean: Support removal of directory (plus contents)
    when they are marked with a trailing slash.
    (Closes: #511048)
  * dh_install,dh_installdocs,dh_installexamples: Apply
    patches from Niko Tyni to make timestamp of directories
    created from "find"-pipelines reproducible.
    (Closes: #802005)
  * dh_installinit: The postinst snippets are now only run
    during "configure" or "abort-upgrade".
    (Closes: #188028)
  * cmake.pm: Apply patch from Jonathan Hall to fix an
    accidental error hiding. (Closes: #802984)
  * qmake.pm: Apply patch from Sergio Durigan Junior to
    create the build dir if it doesn't exist.
    (Closes: #800738)
  * dh_installinit: Disable initscripts when a package is
    removed (but not yet purged). (Closes: #749400)
