Debian policy talks about the final result only and there are many ways to get there. You are using debhelper to get there so read debhelper documentation # general man debhelper man dh # about debian/*.dirs man dh_installdirs # about debian/*.install man dh_install # also read for a few others man dh_install* > Any pointers? > or use bash/man completion and read man dh_* they are all very similar from UI point of few and let you achieve many things > Rich. > ps. @redhat.com.....
