8 dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering
9 kernel modules with modutils.
11 A file named debian/package.modules (debian/modules may be used for the first
12 binary package in debian/control) will be installed as etc/modutils/package
13 in the package build directory.
15 Then postinst and postrm commands are automatically generated to register
16 the modules when the package is installed. See
18 for an explanation of how this works.
24 for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.
27 Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.
31 for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
33 Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be called
34 between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
35 instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
