NAME
       dh_installdirs - create subdirectories in package build
       directories

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installdirs [debhelper options] [-A] [dir ...]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installdirs is a debhelper program that is responsible
       for creating subdirectories in package build directories.

       Any directory names specified as parameters will be cre-
       ated in the package build directory of the first package
       dh_installdirs is told to act on. By default, this is the
       first binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p,
       -i, or -a flags, it will be the first package specified by
       those flags.

       A file named debian/package.dirs can list other directo-
       ries to be created.  Separate the directory names with
       whitespace.

       Be sure to only use directory names relative to the pack-
       age build directory. Ie, "/usr/bin" should not be used,
       use "usr/bin" instead.

OPTIONS
       -A, --all
           Create any directories specified by command line
           parameters in ALL packages acted on, not just the
           first.

       dir ...
           Create these directories in the package build direc-
           tory of the first package acted on. (Or in all pack-
           ages if -A is specified.)
