Hi, Assuming you are using debhelper, you add a call to dh_install somewhere in the appropriate install target of your debian/rules. You also have a file debian/install (or for multiple binary packages created from the same source package, debian/<package>.install) whose contents look like this, for instance: debian/debian.conf debian/<package>/etc/<package>/config.d src/config/default.conf debian/<package>/etc/<package>/config.d The first entry on each line gives the file to install, relative to the source directory, and the second entry gives the directory to install it to (obviously, replace <package> with the name of your binary package). If you are using a debhelper compat level of 3 or greater, the files will automatically be marked as conffiles since they are installed to /etc. For more details, see dh_install(1) and debhelper(7). regards, -- Kevin B.
