commit d499a287b3e82bddf1a5bacb4f52bd3b14d82f55
Author: Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>

    Remove an unnecessary space

commit f7f6f03e8d307042a0476248781a84bb76f6d1cf
Author: Miao Wang <shankerwangmiao@gmail.com>
Date:   Tue Mar 31 02:46:43 2026 +0800

    filedoublearray: do not resolve symlink when converting to absolute paths
    
    When d/foo.install is an exectuable dh-exec script and d/bar.install is
    a symlink of it, dh_install should execute bar.install instead of
    foo.install, when resolving the content of bar.install, since dh-exec
    would make different output when the name of the executed script is
    contained in DH_CONFIG_ACT_ON_PACKAGES.

Author: Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues <josch@debian.org>

    autoscripts/postinst-systemd-restart: do not do a daemon-reload when DPKG_ROOT is non-empty
    
    Thanks: Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>

commit 2ef4800f06910b202f5dd732a1ab99b5628bffc3
Author: Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues <josch@debian.org>
Date:   Fri Mar 13 23:14:08 2026 +0100

    autoscripts/postrm-systemd{,-user}: stop testing for deb-systemd-helper
    
    /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper is part of Essential:yes package
    init-system-helper and present on all installations on all architectures
    since 2013.

commit c9b9b4e0e81af99f09c69263dd41eea332b1f743
Author: Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues <josch@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Mar 12 14:00:29 2026 +0100

    autoscripts: enable update-rc.d and deb-systemd-helper with $DPKG_ROOT
    
    Both update-rc.d and deb-systemd-helper do support $DPKG_ROOT and thus
    we don't have to disable their use when $DPKG_ROOT is non-empty.
