I'm using:

  • Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS.
  • dh-make package with version 2.201605~xenial1

When I try to start packaging, dh_make propose next options:

$ dh_make
Type of package: (single, indep, library, python)
[s/i/l/p]?

I have downloaded dh_make sources. In the lib directory i found next subdirs

debian  debiani  debianl  debianm  debianp  debians  emacs  licenses  native

As I can understand debianm contain overrides for multiple binnary package type. But dh_make has no option for use it. Man page for dh_make also doesn't contain information about -m option.

Additionally, man page and dh_make -h command are not providing information for all licenses that exist in lib/licenses

Does anybody know is this a bug?

Is there any other way to use full features of dh_make script?

Not a bug but a feature. See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dh-make/2.201602 Which breaks most of the HOWTOs - thanks Debian.
