-If a file named debian/init exists, then it is installed into
-etc/init.d/package in the package build directory (with "package" replaced
-by the package name, unless the -d flag is specified, see below)
-.P
-For packages other than the first binary package listed in
-the control file, use debian/package.init instead (replace "package" with
-the name of the package.)
+If a file named debian/package.init (or debian/package.init.d for backwards
+compatibility with debstd) exists, then it is installed into
+etc/init.d/package in the package build directory, with "package" replaced
+by the packagename. (You may use debian/init for the first binary package
+listed in the control file.)

-.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
-.I DH_VERBOSE
-Enables verbose mode
+.B \--init-script=scriptname
+Use "scriptname" as for the filename the init script is installed as in
+etc/init.d/ . This is useful if you need to have an init script with a name
+different from the package's name. Note that if you use this parameter,
+dh_installinit will look to see if a file in the debian/ directory exists
+that looks like "scriptname" or "package.scriptname" and if so will install
+it as the inist script in preference to the files it normally installs. This
+feature is really only useful if you need a single package to install more
+than one init script.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+See
+.BR debhelper (1)
+for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
+.SH NOTES
+Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be called
+between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
+instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
