+
+B<dh_gencontrol> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [S<B<--> I<params>>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+dh_gencontrol is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating
+control files, and installing them into the DEBIAN directory with the
+proper permissions.
+
+This program is merely a wrapper around L<dpkg-gencontrol(1)>, which calls
+it once for each package being acted on, and passes in some additional
+useful flags including "-isp".
