Re: proper way to override dh_gencontrol

[Robert Steckroth <robertsteckroth@gmail.com>]

Oh ya, I read through that. The other problem is the `dh_make` custom template mechanism which only functions superficially.

It doesn't override the `/usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/` ones very well unless all of them are copied and changed. 

It should override templates in a merging way with the default ones. 

P.S. what is proving difficult is this -> https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html

It would be nice to see a quick video to initially put my head around the concept.
