SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       dh_prep is a debhelper program that performs some file cleanups in
13       preparation for building a binary package. (This is what dh_clean -k
14       used to do.) It removes the package build directories, debian/tmp, and
15       some temp files that are generated when building a binary package.
16
17       It is typically run at the top of the binary-arch and binary-indep
18       targets, or at the top of a target such as install that they depend on.

OPTIONS

21       -Xitem --exclude=item
22           Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from
23           being deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use
24           this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
