+.TH DH_INSTALLCHANGELOGS 1 "" "Debhelper Commands" "Debhelper Commands"
+.SH NAME
+dh_installchangelogs \- install changelogs into package build directories
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dh_installchangelogs
+.I "[debhelper options] [-k] [upstream]"
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+dh_installchangelogs is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
+changelogs into package build directories.
+.P
+dh_installchangelogs determines if the package is a debian native package,
+and if so, it installs debian/changelog into usr/doc/package/changelog in
+the package build directory. Otherwise, it installs debian/changelog into
+usr/doc/package/changelog.Debian in the package build directory. (If files
+named debian/package.changelog exist, they will be used in preference to
+debian/changelog.)
+.P
+If an upstream changelog file is specified as an option, and the package is
+not a native debian package, then this upstream changelog will be installed
+as usr/doc/package/changelog in the package build directory. If the
+changelog is a html file (determined by file extention), it will be
+installed as usr/doc/package/changelog.html instead (with a link to
+usr/doc/package/changelog).
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B debhelper options
+See
+.BR debhelper (1)
+for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.
+.TP
+.B \-k, \--keep
+Keep the original name of the upstream changelog. This will be accomplished
+by installing the upstream changelog as "changelog", and making a symlink from
+that to the original name of the changelog file. This can be useful if the
+upstream changelog has an unusual name, or if other documentation in the
+package refers to the changelog file.
+.TP
+.B upstream
+Install this file as the upstream changelog.
+.SH NOTES
+It is an error to specify an upstream changelog file for a debian native
+package.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+See
+.BR debhelper (1)
+for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
