# Pass it a name of a binary package, it returns the name to prefix to files
Do not act on the specified package even if an -a, -i, or -p option lists
the package as one that should be acted on.
+=item B<--ignore=>I<file>
+
+Ignore the specified file. This can be used if debian/ contains a debhelper
+config file that a debhelper command should not act on. Note that
+debian/compat, debian/control, and debian/changelog can't be ignored, but
+then, there should never be a reason to ignore those files.
+
+For example, if upstream ships a debian/init that you don't want
+dh_installinit to install, use --ignore=debian/init
+
=item B<-P>I<tmpdir>, B<--tmpdir=>I<tmpdir>
Use "tmpdir" for package build directory. The default is debian/<package>
+debhelper (5.0.57) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
+
+ * Add --ignore option. This is intended to ease dealing with upstream
+ tarballs that contain debian directories, by allowing debhelper config
+ files in those directories to be ignored, since there's generally no
+ good way to delete them out of the upstream tarball, and they can easily
+ get in the way if upstream is using debian/ differently than the Debian
+ maintainer.
