[debhelper-devel] Bug#815401: dh_makeshlibs: man page still speaks about postinst and postrm, not triggers

Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20150507
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

Since recently, dh_makeshlibs does not generated postinst and postrm
files anymore to call ldconfig, but a dpkg trigger instead.

The description in the man page still speaks about the old way. This can
be confusing especially if using older lintian which produces an error
if it doesn't see postrm/postinst, since nothing suggests to a
maintainer that it isn't a bug in dh_makeshlibs.

Please modify the man page accordingly.

Thanks!
