Bug Description

Hello.

tsocks couldn't be rebuild on xenial.

apt-get build-deb tsocks
apt-get source -b tsocks
...
dh_testdir
dh_undocumented
make: dh_undocumented: Command not found
debian/rules:68: recipe for target 'binary-arch' failed

Modern debhelper does not include dh_undocumented: https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/debhelper/dh_undocumented.1.en.html

Please remove it from debian/rules.

Thanks for reporting.

I see that this issue is fixed in 1.8beta5+ds1-1ubuntu1 available in Ubuntu 17.04 and later releases (see also the corresponding Debian bug). Though it is present in older releases, so would be a candidate for Stable Release Update if it is causing build failures in those. However, when I checked this on my 16.04 VM, I only got the following warning during build:
dh_undocumented
dh_undocumented: This program does nothing and should no longer be used.

So it didn't seem like it caused a build failure, only a harmless warning. (Same behaviour with -proposed repo enabled.) Are you perhaps using a newer version of debhelper?

PS. Thanks for the tip on `apt source -b package`, wasn't aware of that one :)
