=head1 SYNOPSIS
-B<dh_installdocs> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-A>] [B<-n>] [S<I<file ...>>]
+B<dh_installdocs> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-A>] [B<-X>I<item>] [S<I<file ...>>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
dh_installdocs is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
documentation into usr/share/doc/package in package build directories.
-dh_installdocs automatically installs debian/copyright if it exists. If
-dh_installdocs is acting on multiple packages, debian/copyright files will be
-installed into all packages. However, if you need to have seperate copyright
-files for different binary packages, you can use files named
-debian/package.copyright.
-
-Any filenames specified as parameters will be installed into the first
-package dh_installdocs is told to act on. By default, this is the first
-binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags, it
-will be the first package specified by those flags.
-
-Also, debian/README.Debian (or debian/README.debian) and debian/TODO, if
-they exist, will be installed into the first binary package listed in
-debian/control, if dh_installdocs is acting on that package. Note that
-debian/TODO will be installed named TODO.Debian, if the package is not a
-debian native package. Also note that README.debian is installed as
-README.Debian, for consistency. Note that debian/package.README.Debian and
-debian/package.TODO can be used to specify files for subpackages.
-
-Files named debian/package.docs can list other files to be installed.
-
-This program will automatically generate postinst and prerm commands to
-maintain a compatibility symlink, /usr/doc/package, to the documentation in
-/usr/share/doc/package. See L<dh_installdeb(1)> for an explanation of how
-this works.
-
-Files named debian/package.doc-base, will be installed as doc-base control
-files, and will make this program automatically generate the postinst and
-prerm commands needed to interface with the doc-base package. Note that the
-doc-id will be determined from the "Document:" entry in the
-doc-base control file in question.
+=head1 FILES
+
+=over 4
+
+=item debian/I<package>.docs
+
+List documentaton files to be installed into I<package>.
+
+=item debian/copyright
+
+=item debian/README.Debian
+
+=item debian/TODO
+
+=item debian/I<package>.copyright
+
+=item debian/I<package>.README.Debian
+
+=item debian/I<package>.TODO
+
+Each of these files is automatically installed if present. Use the package
+specific name if I<package> needs a different version of the file.
+
+Note that debian/README.debian is also installed as README.Debian,
+and debian/TODO will be installed as TODO.Debian in non-native packages.
+
+=item debian/I<package>.doc-base
+
+Installed as doc-base control files. Note that the doc-id will be
+determined from the "Document:" entry in the doc-base control file in
+question.
+
+=item debian/I<package>.doc-base.*
If your package needs to register more than one document, you need multiple
-files. To accomplish this, you can use files named debian/package.doc-base.*
+doc-base files, and can name them like this.

=head1 OPTIONS
Install all files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages
acted on.
-=item B<-n>, B<--noscripts>
+=item B<-Xitem>, B<--exclude=item>
-Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.
+Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from
+being installed. Note that this includes doc-base files.
=item I<file ...>
Install these files as documentation into the first package acted on. (Or
-in all packages if -A is specified).
+in all packages if B<-A> is specified).

+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+This is an example of a debian/package.docs file:
+
+ README
+ TODO
+ debian/notes-for-maintainers.txt
+ docs/manual.txt
+ docs/manual.pdf
+ docs/manual-html/
+
=head1 NOTES
Note that dh_installdocs will happily copy entire directory hierarchies if
-you ask it to (it uses cp -a internally). If it is asked to install a
+you ask it to (similar to cp -a). If it is asked to install a
directory, it will install the complete contents of the directory.
-Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be called
+Note that this command is not idempotent. L<dh_prep(1)> should be called
between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
