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.
files
package.postinst
package.preinst
package.postrm
package.prerm
These maintainer scripts are installed into the
DEBIAN directory.
Inside the scripts, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with
shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.
package.triggers
package.shlibs
These control files are installed into the
DEBIAN directory.
package.conffiles
This control file will be installed into the
DEBIAN directory.
In v3 compatibility 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 here.
package.maintscript
Lines in this file correspond to
dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) commands and parameters. Any
shell metacharacters will be escaped, so arbitrary shell code
cannot be inserted here. For example, a line such as
"mv_conffile /etc/oldconffile /etc/newconffile" will
insert maintainer script snippets into all maintainer scripts
sufficient to move that conffile.
A versioned Pre-Dependency on dpkg is needed to use
dpkg-maintscript-helper(1). An appropriate Pre-Dependency
is set in ${misc:Pre-Depends} ; you should make sure to put that
token into an appropriate place in your debian/control file.
