Bug#94893: xxgdb uses own dh_installxaw instead of debhelper one
Package: xxgdb
Version: 1.12-9.3
Severity: serious
xxgdb doesn't compile on potato because it uses a private dh_installxaw
script instead of the standard script supplied by debhelper.
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
...
dh_installmenu
DH_AUTOSCRIPTDIR=debian perl debian/dh_installxaw
Can't locate Dh_Lib.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.005 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5 . debian /usr/lib/debhelper) at debian/dh_installxaw line 12.

ii debhelper 2.0.86 helper programs for debian/rules
The bug is fixed by replacing the above line with a simple "dh_installxaw"
which is provided by debhelper (>= 2.0.86) distributed in potato.
