Files named debian/package.config and debian/package.templates are
installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.
+If a file named debian/package.config.debhelper exists, the contents
+of that file are merged into the config 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 may be created
+by other debhelper programs, and are shell script fragments.
Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs to depend on it
-(it will be added to ${misc:Depends by this program).

-=head1 LOCALIZED TEMPLATE FILES
-
-Debconf also supports localized template files, and this program has some
-support to aid working with them. It is best 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.
+Note that for your config script to be called by dpkg, your postinst
+needs to source debconf's confmodule. dh_installdebconf does not
+install this statement into postinst automatically as it it too hard to
+do it right.
-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 prepended.
+=head1 LOCALIZED TEMPLATE FILES
-For example, if you have a German translation,
-debian/package.templates.de is merged with debian/package.templates.
+This program will look to see if you have a debian/po directory and if so
+will automatically call L<po2debconf(1)> to generate a merged templates
+file containing the translations. For this to work, your package should
+build-depend on po-debconf.
