+.SH NAME
+dh_installdirs \- create subdirectories in package build directories
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dh_installdirs
+.I "[-v] [-a] [-i] [-ppackage] [-Ptmpdir] [dir ...]"
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+dh_installdirs is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating
+subdirectories in package build directories.
+.P
+Any directory names specified as parameters will be created in the package
+build directory of the first binary package listed in debian/control, if
+dh_installdirs is acting on that package.
+.P
+A file named debian/dirs (for the first binary package in debian/control),
+or debian/package.dirs (for each additional package in debian/control) can
+list other directories to be created. Seperate the directory names with
+whitespace.
+.P
+Be sure to only use directory names relative to the package build
+directory. Ie, "/usr/bin" should not be used, use "usr/bin" instead.
