=head1 DESCRIPTION
-dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for moving files
-out of debian/tmp or some other directory and into other package build
-directories. This may be useful if your package has a Makefile that installs
-everything into debian/tmp, and you need to break that up into subpackages.
+B<dh_movefiles> is a debhelper program that is responsible for moving files
+out of F<debian/tmp> or some other directory and into other package build
+directories. This may be useful if your package has a F<Makefile> that installs
+everything into F<debian/tmp>, and you need to break that up into subpackages.
-Files named debian/package.files list the files to be moved, separated by
-whitespace. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can
-also list directory names, and the whole directory will be moved. If you
-prefer, you can list the files to move on the command line and this will
-apply to the first package dh_movefiles is told to act on.
+Note: B<dh_install> is a much better program, and you are recommended to use
+it instead of B<dh_movefiles>.
