=head1 SYNOPSIS
-B<dh_installdocs> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-A>] [B<-n>] [B<-X>I<item>] [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 separate 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 B<-p>, B<-i>, or B<-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.
-
-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.

+Each of these files is automatically installed if present. Use the package

+Note that debian/README.debian is also installed as README.Debian,

+=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.
