Debhelper is used to help you build a debian package. The philosophy behind
debhelper is to provide a collection of small, simple, and easily
understood tools that are used in debian/rules to automate various common

It also, to some degree means that these tools can be changed if debian
policy changes, and packages that use them will require only a rebuild to
comply with the new policy.
-.P

A typical debian/rules file that uses debhelper will call several debhelper
commands in sequence. Debhelper commands are all named with a "dh_" prefix.
Examples of rules files that use debhelper are in

To create a new debian package using debhelper, you can just copy one of
the sample rules files and edit it by hand. Or you can try the dh-make

+
+Many debhelper commands make use of files in F<debian/> to control what they
+do. Besides the common F<debian/changelog> and F<debian/control>, which are
in all packages, not just those using debhelper, some additional files can
be used to configure the behavior of specific debhelper commands. These
-files are typically named debian/<package>.foo (where <package> of course,
+files are typically named debian/package.foo (where "package" of course,

+dh_installdocs uses files named debian/package.docs to list the documentation
files it will install. See the man pages of individual commands for details
about the names and formats of the files they use.

Note that if a package is the first (or only) binary package listed in
-debian/control, debhelper will use debian/foo if no debian/<package>.foo
+debian/control, debhelper will use debian/foo if no debian/package.foo
file can be found.
-.P

In some rare cases, you may want to have different versions of these files

+for different architectures. If files named debian/package.foo.arch
+exist, where "arch" is the same as the output of "dpkg --print-architecture",
then they will be used in preference to other, more general files.

In many cases, these config files are used to specify various types of
files. Documentation or example files to install, files to move, and so on.
When appropriate, in cases like these, you can use standard shell wildcard
characters ('?' and '*') in the files.

+=head2 Automatic generation of debian install scripts
+
Some debhelper commands will automatically generate parts of debian install
scripts. If you want these automatically generated things included in your
debian install scripts, then you need to add "#DEBHELPER#" to your scripts,

any auto-generated code when you run dh_installdeb.

Note that the inserted code will be shell code, so you cannot directly use
it in a perl script. If you would like to embed it into a perl script, here
is one way to do that (note that I made sure that $1, $2, etc are set with
the set command):

-temporary directory. Note that if you use -P, the debhelper programs can only

+
+=head2 Debhelper compatability levels
+
From time to time, major non-backwards-compatabile changes need to be made
to debhelper, to keep it clean and well-designed as needs change and its
author gains more experience. To prevent such major changes from breaking
existing packages, the DH_COMPAT environment variable was introduced.
DH_COMPAT may be set to a number, to determine which major revision of
debhelper should be used. There are currently 3:
-.TP
-.B V1
+
+=over 4
+
+=item V1
+
Setting DH_COMPAT=1 (or leaving it unset) causes debhelper to act in
compatability mode. It will use debian/tmp as the package tree
directory for the first binary package listed in the control file, while using
debian/<package> for all other packages listed in the control file.
This mode is deprecated.
-.TP
-.B V2

Setting DH_COMPAT=2 causes debhelper to consitently use debian/<package>

In general, if any debhelper program needs a directory to exist under
debian/, it will create it. I haven't bothered to document this in all the

+man pages, but for example, dh_installdeb knows to make debian/<package>/DEBIAN/

+debian/<package>/usr/lib/menu/ before installing the menu files, etc.
+
+If you are generating a debian package that has arch-indep and
arch-dependent portions, and you are using dh_movefiles to move the
arch-indep files out of debian/tmp, you need to make sure that dh_movefiles
does this even if only the arch-dependent package is being built (for
ports to other architectures). I handle this in the example rules file
"rules.multi" by calling dh_movefiles in the install target.

+
+dh_undocumented is a debhelper program that is responsible for making
+symlinks to L<undocumented(7)> for man pages that are not present in your
+package.
+
+The program takes a list of man pages that should be symlinked to
+L<undocumented(7)>. It examines the extension to see what section the man
+page belongs in. After figuring this out, it generates the necessary
+symlinks.
+
+The lists of man pages that need symlinks can be specified in two ways. Any
+man page names specified as
+parameters will be set up in the first package dh_undocumented 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.
+
+Also, a file named debian/package.undocumented can list other man page
+names to set up.

-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-dh_undocumented is a debhelper program that is responsible for making
-symlinks to the
-.BR undocumented (7)
-man page for man pages that are not present in your package.
-.P
-The program takes a list of man pages that should be symlinked to
-.BR undocumented (7)
-It determines what directory the man pages should be placed in by examining
-their extensions - pages ending in "x" go into /usr/X11R6/man/, while pages
-that end in anything else go in /usr/share/man/. It also examines the extension
-to see what section the man page belongs in. After figuring this out, it
-generates the necessary symlinks to
-.BR undocumented (7)
-, placing the sylinks in the package build directory.
-.P
-The lists of man pages that need
-.BR undocumented (7)
-symlinks can be specified in two ways. Any man page names specified as
-parameters will be set up in the first package dh_undocumented 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.
-Also, a file named debian/package.undocumented can list other man page names
-to set up.
