18 dh_installdebconf is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
19 files used by the debconf package into package build directories.
21 It also automatically generates the postrm commands needed to
22 interface with debconf. See L<dh_installdeb(1)> for an explanation of how
25 Files named debian/package.config and debian/package.templates are
26 installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.
28 Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs to depend on it
29 (it will be added to ${misc:Depends} by this program).
31 =head1 LOCALIZED TEMPLATE FILES
33 Debconf also supports localized template files, and this program has some
34 support to aid is working with them. It is best to keep the translations in
35 .po files under debian/po, and merge them only at build time. See
36 L<po2debconf(1)> and L<debconf-getlang(1)> for details.
38 This program will look to see if you have a debian/po directory and if so will
39 automatically call L<po2debconf(1)> to generate a merged templates file. Or
40 if you have debian/templates.ll files, it will use the older
41 L<debconf-mergetemplate(1)> program to merge those together.
43 Note that if your package has a debian/po directory it should build-depend on po-debconf.
45 For example, if you have a German translation,
46 strings from debian/po/de.po are merged with debian/package.templates.
