Package: dh-make Version: 2.201608 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
dh_make's --overlay/-o option is documented as taking a directory argument, to apply extra templates. Under previous versions (circa Squeeze/Wheezy from memory) the perl version worked as documented. The current python version treats --overlay as a flag but requires an argument. The only work around I've found is to specify both --overlay true and --templates <overlay-dir> The current mode of operation isn't necessarily bad/wrong, but the documentation/help doesn't match the behaviour. Currently this behaviour breaks backwards compatibility with the perl version.
