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.
