8 dh_installdirs is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating
9 subdirectories in package build directories.
11 Any directory names specified as parameters will be created in the package
12 build directory of the first package dh_installdirs is told to act on. By
13 default, this is the first binary package in debian/control, but if you use
14 -p, -i, or -a flags, it will be the first package specified by those flags.
16 A file named debian/package.dirs can list other directories to be created.
17 Separate the directory names with whitespace.
19 Be sure to only use directory names relative to the package build
20 directory. Ie, "/usr/bin" should not be used, use "usr/bin" instead.
26 for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.
29 Create any directories specified by command line parameters in ALL packages
30 acted on, not just the first.
33 Create these directories in the package build directory of the first package
34 acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified.)
38 for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
42 It's impossible to specify filenames with spaces or other whitespace in them
43 in debian/package.dirs file. This is more a historical design flaw than a bug.
