NAME

6       dh_installdebconf - install files used by debconf in package build
7       directories

SYNOPSIS

10       dh_installdebconf [debhelper options] [-n] [-- params]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       dh_installdebconf is a debhelper program that is responsible for
14       installing files used by debconf into package build directories.
15
16       It also automatically generates the postrm commands needed to interface
17       with debconf. The commands are added to the maintainer scripts by
18       dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how that
19       works.
20
21       Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs to depend on
22       it (it will be added to ${misc:Depends} by this program).
23
24       Note that for your config script to be called by dpkg, your postinst
25       needs to source debconf's confmodule. dh_installdebconf does not
26       install this statement into the postinst automatically as it is too
27       hard to do it right.

FILES

30       debian/package.config
31           This is the debconf config script, and is installed into the DEBIAN
32           directory in the package build directory.
33
34           Inside the script, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell
35           script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.
36
37       debian/package.templates
38           This is the debconf templates file, and is installed into the
39           DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.
40
41       debian/po/
42           If this directory is present, this program will automatically use
43           po2debconf(1) to generate merged templates files that include the
44           translations from there.
45
46           For this to work, your package should build-depend on po-debconf.
47

50           Do not modify postrm script.
