5 dh_installmodules - register modules with modutils

20 dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for
21 registering kernel modules.
23 Files named debian/package.modules will be installed as
24 etc/modutils/package in the package build directory. This is for use by
25 modutils. Files named debian/package.modprobe will be installed in
26 etc/modprobe.d/package in the package build directory, to be used by
27 module-init-tools's version of modprobe.
29 Kernel modules are searched for in the package build directory and if
30 found, postinst and postrm commands are automatically generated to
31 run depmod and register the modules when the package is installed. See
32 L<dh_installdeb(1)> for an explanation of how this works.

44 When this parameter is used, dh_installmodules looks for and
45 installs files named debian/package.name.modules and
46 debian/package.name.modprobe instead of the usual
47 debian/package.modules and debian/package.modprobe
53 Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be called
54 between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
55 instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
