[Bug 368566] [NEW] ikiwiki's debian/rules requires a newer version of debhelper

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ikiwiki

ikiwiki cannot find its files in /usr/share/ikiwiki as it was built with
PREFIX=/usr/local.

It was built with PREFIX=/usr/local because the debian/rules file uses override_dh_auto_configure,
which does not seem to be supported by the version of dh present in Ubuntu.

(I'm new to Debian packaging, so the analysis could be way off.)

Example:
: aw; mkdir /tmp/a /tmp/b
: aw; cd /tmp/a
: aw; touch a.mdwn
: aw; ikiwiki /tmp/a /tmp/b
Can't stat /usr/local/share/ikiwiki/basewiki: No such file or directory
 at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/Render.pm line 320
HTML::Template->new called with multiple (or no) template sources specified!  A valid call to new() has exactly one filename => 'file' OR exactly one scalarref => \$scalar OR exactly one arrayref => \@array OR exactly one filehandle => *FH at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki.pm line 1566

Note the path referenced: /usr/local/share/ikiwiki/basewiki. The files are actually in /usr/share/ikiwiki.

Description: a wiki compiler
 ikiwiki converts a directory full of wiki pages into HTML pages suitable
 for publishing on a website. Unlike many wikis, ikiwiki does not have its
 own ad-hoc means of storing page history, and instead uses a revision control
 system such as Subversion or Git.
 .
 ikiwiki implements all of the other standard features of a wiki, including
 web-based page editing, user registration and logins, a RecentChanges
 page, BackLinks, search, Discussion pages, tags, smart merging and conflict
 resolution, and page locking.
 .
 ikiwiki also supports generating news feeds (RSS and Atom) and blogging.
 ikiwiki provides a plugin system which allows many other features to be
 added. Some of the plugins have additional dependencies, found among the
 Recommends and Suggests of this package.
