!!NAME


dh_installdeb - install files into the DEBIAN directory
!!SYNOPSIS


__dh_installdeb__ [[''debhelper options'']
!!DESCRIPTION


dh_installdeb is a debhelper program that is responsible for
installing files into the DEBIAN directories
in package build directories with the correct
permissions.


dh_installdeb automatically installs the following files
from debian/ into the DEBIAN directory:
package.postinst package.preinst package.postrm
package.prerm package.shlibs package.conffiles


The postinst, preinst, postrm, and prerm are handled
specially: If a corresponding file named
debian/script.debhelper exists, the contents of that file
are merged into the script as follows: If the script exists,
then anywhere in it that ``#DEBHELPER#'' appears, the text
of the .debhelper file is inserted. If the script does not
exist, then a script is generated from the .debhelper file.
The .debhelper files are created by other debhelper
programs, such as ''dh_installmenu''(1), and are shell
script fragments.


In V3 compatability mode and higher, all files in the etc/
directory in a package will automatically be flagged as
conffiles by this program, so there is no need to list them
manually in package.conffiles.
