Package: cdbs Version: 0.4.52 Severity: normal Tags: patch Please, include the documentation for the DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_AUTOHEADER and DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_ACLOCAL variables in the CDBS documentation. I have lost a substantial amount of time until I noticed that those variables existed. Attached below is a patch for doing it.
