- dh_installdebconf [debhelper options] [-n]
+B<dh_installdebconf> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-n>] [S<B<--> I<params>>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Files named debian/package.config and debian/package.templates are
installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.
-Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs to depend on it.

=head1 LOCALIZED TEMPLATE FILES
Debconf also supports localized template files, and this program has some
-support to aid working with them. You may find it easiest to keep the
-translations in separate files, and merge them only at build time. See

L<debconf-mergetemplate(1)> and L<debconf-getlang(1)> for details.
This program will automatically call debconf-mergetemplate and merge
templates on the fly if it finds your template files are accompanied
by translated files that have the same name as the template file, with a
-dot and a locale name repended.

For example, if you have a German translation,
debian/package.templates.de is merged with debian/package.templates.
-If you use this feature, your package should build-depend on debconf-utils.
