.TH DH_INSTALLCHANGELOGS 1
.SH NAME
dh_installchangelogs \- install changelogs into package build directories
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dh_installchangelogs
.I "[-v] [-a] [-i] [--no-act] [-ppackage] [-Ptmpdir] [upstream]"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
dh_installchangelogs is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
changelogs into package build directories.
.P
dh_installchangelogs determines if the package is a debian native package,
and if so, it installs debian/changelog into usr/doc/package/changelog in
the package build directory. Otherwise, it installs debian/changelog into
usr/doc/package/changelog.Debian in the package build directory. (If files
named debian/package.changelog exist, they will be used in preference to
debian/changelog.)
.P
If an upstream changelog file is specified as an option, and the package is
not a native debian package, then this upstream changelog will be installed
as usr/doc/package/changelog in the package build directory.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-v, \--verbose
Verbose mode; show all commands that modify the package build directory.
.TP
.B \-a, \--arch
Install changelogs for all architecture dependent packages.
.TP
.B \-i, \--indep
Install changelogs for all architecture independent packages.

Do not really do anything. If used with -v, the result is that this command

Install changelogs for the package named "package".

Instal this file as the upstream changelog.
.SH NOTES

the control file will have the changelogs installed into them.

package.
