If you +didn't use -k in these cases, then debian/files would be deleted in the +middle, and your changes file will only contain the last binary package that +was built. +.TP +.B \-d, \--dirs-only +Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other files at +all. +.TP +.B file ... +Delete these files too. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +See +.BR debhelper (1) +for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR debhelper (1) +.SH AUTHOR +Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> |
