18 dh_installdebconf is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
19 files used by the debconf package into package build directories.
21 It also automatically generates the postrm commands needed to interface
22 with debconf. The commands are added to the maintainer scripts by
23 dh_installdeb. See L<dh_installdeb(1)> for an explanation of how that
26 Files named debian/package.config and debian/package.templates are
27 installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.
28 If a file named debian/package.config.debhelper exists, the contents
29 of that file are merged into the config script as follows: If the script
30 exists, then anywhere in it that "#DEBHELPER#" appears, the text of the
31 .debhelper file is inserted. If the script does not exist, then a script
32 is generated from the .debhelper file. The .debhelper files may be created
33 by other debhelper programs, and are shell script fragments.
35 Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs to depend on it
36 (it will be added to ${misc:Depends} by this program).
38 Note that for your config script to be called by dpkg, your postinst
39 needs to source debconf's confmodule. dh_installdebconf does not
40 install this statement into postinst automatically as it it too hard to
43 =head1 LOCALIZED TEMPLATE FILES
45 This program will look to see if you have a debian/po directory and if so
46 will automatically call L<po2debconf(1)> to generate a merged templates
47 file containing the translations. For this to work, your package should
48 build-depend on po-debconf.
