NAME
       dh_installdebconf - install files used by debconf in pack-
       age build directories

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installdebconf [debhelper options] [-n] [-- params]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installdebconf is a debhelper program that is responsi-
       ble for installing files used by the debconf package into
       package build directories.

       It also automatically generates the postrm commands needed
       to interface with debconf. See dh_installdeb(b) for an
       explanation of how that works.

       Files named debian/package.config and debian/package.tem-
       plates are installed into the DEBIAN directory in the
       package build directory.

       Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs
       to depend on it (it will be added to ${misc:Depends by
       this program).

LOCALIZED TEMPLATE FILES
       Debconf also supports localized template files, and this
       program has some support to aid working with them. You may
       find it easiest to keep the translations in separate
       files, and merge them only at build time. See debconf-mer-
       getemplate(e) and debconf-getlang(g) for details.

       This program will automatically call debconf-mergetemplate
       and merge templates on the fly if it finds your template
       files are accompanied by translated files that have the
       same name as the template file, with a dot and a locale
       name repended.

       For example, if you have a German translation,
       debian/package.templates.de is merged with debian/pack-
       age.templates.

OPTIONS
       -n, --noscripts
           Do not modify postrm script.

       -- params
           Pass the params to debconf-mergetemplate.
