Huh; that's really odd. dh_fixparams *was* being called when I built 2017.08.24-1, but when I rebuild it currently, it is not being called at all. I think something slightly more complicated is going on here than just dh_fixperms not being called. After futzing with things, I think the issue is that I was stupidly using a build and install target, which causes all sorts of issues with dh $@ when debhelper no longer tracks whether it's called all of its rules. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com Let the victors, when they come, When the forts of folly fall Find thy body by the wall! -- Matthew Arnold
