	Description: helper programs for debian/rules
	 A collection of programs that can be used in a debian/rules file to
	 automate common tasks related to building debian packages. Programs
	 are included to install various files into your package, compress
	 files, fix file permissions, integrate your package with the debian
	 menu system, debconf, doc-base, etc. Most debian packages use debhelper
	 as part of their build process.

Here it outputs information about multiple versions of debhelper,
including rather old ones. Next:

	$ dcontrol debhelper/stretch


Nothing. Why? Maybe I just do not understand what `dcontrol' is expected
to do, but I believe two mentioned queries are rather similar:

 * I expect debhelper/sid report version in sid
 * I expect debhelper/stretch report version in stretch

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Control: reassign -1 qa.debian.org

As per the manpage, dcontrol is an interface to https://qa.debian.org/c
gi-bin/dcontrol . If you perform the same queries via that script
directly, then you'll receive the same result, so dcontrol appears to
be behaving exactly correctly AFAICS.
[...]

Indeed.

Because the CGI doesn't know about stretch, quite simply. Again, try
making queries via the https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/dcontrol
interface, and check the list of suites available in the dropdown.

As above, these both appears to be issues with the source data.

Adam
