+.SH NAME
+dh_installdeb \- install files into the DEBIAN directory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dh_installdeb
+.I "[debhelper options]"
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+dh_installdeb is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
+files into the DEBIAN directory in package build directories with the
+correct permissions.
+.P
+dh_installdeb automatically installs the following files from debian/ into
+the DEBIAN directory:
+ postinst
+ preinst
+ postrm
+ prerm
+ shlibs
+ conffiles
+.P
+(For packages other than the first binary package listed in debian/control,
+you must prefix these filenames with then name of the "package.", for example,
+"foo.postinst". You can also prefix the filenames the same way for the first
+binary package, for consitency.)
+.P
+The files postinst, preinst, postrm, and prerm are handled specially: If a
+corresponding file named debian/script.debhelper exists, the contents of that
+file are merged into the script as follows: If the script exists, then
+anywhere in it that "#DEBHELPER#" appears, the text of the .debhelper file is
+inserted. If the script does not exist, then a script is generated from
+the .debhelper file. The .debhelper files are created by other debhelper
+programs, such as
+.BR dh_installmenu (1)
+, and are shell script fragments.
