Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.88
Severity: wishlist
chromium-browser at one point required manually adding some extra dependencies
in Depends field, so there was a need to override part of debhelper.mk that ran
dh_gencontrol. It was documented however that in order to do this, the target
'binary-makedeb-IMPL/%' had to be overridden.
Please provide some form of documentation that explains the above use case. I'm
sure there are similar use cases too, such as overridding dh_shlibdeps.
