NAME
       dh_installchangelogs - install changelogs into package
       build directories

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installchangelogs [<debhelper options] [-k] [upstream]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installchangelogs is a debhelper program that is
       responsible for installing changelogs into package build
       directories.

       dh_installchangelogs determines if the package is a debian
       native package, and if so, it installs debian/changelog
       into usr/share/doc/package/changelog in the package build
       directory. Otherwise, it installs debian/changelog into
       usr/share/doc/package/changelog.Debian in the package
       build directory. (If files named debian/package.changelog
       exist, they will be used in preference to
       debian/changelog.)

       If an upstream changelog file is specified as an option,
       and the package is not a native debian package, then this
       upstream changelog will be installed as
       usr/share/doc/package/changelog in the package build
       directory. If the changelog is a html file (determined by
       file extension), it will be installed as
       usr/share/doc/package/changelog.html instead, and will be
       converted to plain text with html2text to generate
       usr/share/doc/package/changelog.

OPTIONS
       -k, --keep
           Keep the original name of the upstream changelog. This
           will be accomplished by installing the upstream
           changelog as "changelog", and making a symlink from
           that to the original name of the changelog file. This
           can be useful if the upstream changelog has an unusual
           name, or if other documentation in the package refers
           to the changelog file.

       upstream
           Install this file as the upstream changelog.

NOTES
       It is an error to specify an upstream changelog file for a
       debian native package.
