NAME

       dh_installdebconf - install files used by debconf in package build directories

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installdebconf is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files used by debconf into
       package build directories.

       It also automatically generates the postrm commands needed to interface with debconf. The commands are
       added to the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how that
       works.

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

       Note that for your config script to be called by dpkg, your postinst needs to source debconf's
       confmodule. dh_installdebconf does not install this statement into the postinst automatically as it is
       too hard to do it right.

FILES

       debian/package.config
           This is the debconf config script, and is installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build
           directory.

           Inside the script, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other
           debhelper commands.

       debian/package.templates
           This is the debconf templates file, and is installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build
           directory.

       debian/po/
           If this directory is present, this program will automatically use po2debconf(1) to generate merged
           templates files that include the translations from there.

           For this to work, your package should build-depend on po-debconf.

OPTIONS

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

       -- params
           Pass the params to po2debconf.
