27 Install files for all architecture independent packages.
30 Install files for the package named "package".
33 Use "tmpdir" for package build directory.
36 Install these files as documentation into the first binary package listed in
37 debian/control, if we are acting on that package.
44 arguments are cumulative. If none are specified, then all packages listed in
45 the control file will be effected.
47 Note that dh_examples will happily copy entire directory hierarchies if

49 directory, it will install the complete contents of the directory.
