Hi.

When I run

apt-file search dh_testdir

I get the following:

debhelper: usr/bin/dh_testdir

Running

apt-get install debhelper

will fix the problem.

I use Debian's packages as much as possible, but if there isn't an
official package, I like to make sure the program I build is a local
Debian package and configured closest for my system.

Hope this helps.
          Kenny
