NAME

       xcontrol - preprocessor for debian/control files

SYNOPSIS

       xcontrol build
       xcontrol check

DESCRIPTION

       xcontrol  rewrites  the  debian/xcontrol  file  in  a Debian source package into a policy-
       compliant debian/control file, omitting any information that cannot be expressed properly.
       This  allows  the  maintainer  to  easily  synchronize  debian/control to the more verbose
       debian/xcontrol.

OPTIONS

       Currently, only two subcommands are allowed:

       build  Read debian/xcontrol, output policy-compliant version on stdout.

       check  Verify whether debian/control is up to date.

SEE ALSO

       deb-control(5).
