 files into the DEBIAN directories in package build directories with the
 correct permissions.
 

-dh_installdeb automatically installs the following files from debian/ into
-the DEBIAN directory:
-  package.postinst
-  package.preinst
-  package.postrm
-  package.prerm
-  package.shlibs
-  package.conffiles
-  package.triggers
-
-The postinst, preinst, postrm, and prerm are handled specially: If a
-corresponding file named debian/package.script.debhelper exists, the contents
-of that file are merged into the script as follows: If the script exists,
-then anywhere in it that "#DEBHELPER#" appears, the text of the .debhelper
-file is inserted. If the script does not exist, then a script is generated
-from the .debhelper file. The .debhelper files are created by other debhelper
-programs, such as L<dh_installmenu(1)>, and are shell script fragments.
