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. +.P +A file named debian/package.info (debian/info may be used for the first +binary package in debian/control) can list other files to be installed. +.P +dh_installinfo will automatically generate the postinst and prerm commands +needed to interface with install-info. See +.BR dh_installdeb (1) +for an explanation of how this works. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B debhelper options +See +.BR debhelper (1) +for a list of options common to all debhelper commands. +.TP +.B \-A, \--all +Install all files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages +acted on. +.TP +.B \-n, \--noscripts +Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts. +.TP +.B file ... +Install these info files into the first package acted on.
