NAME
       dh_installchangelogs - install changelogs into package build directo
       ries

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installchangelogs [debhelper options] [-k] [upstream]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installchangelogs is a debhelper program that is responsible for
       installing changelogs into package build directories.

       dh_installchangelogs determines if the package is a debian native pack
       age, and if so, it installs debian/changelog into usr/share/doc/pack
       age/changelog in the package build directory. Otherwise, it installs
       debian/changelog into usr/share/doc/package/changelog.Debian in the
       package build directory. (If files named debian/package.changelog
       exist, they will be used in preference to debian/changelog.)

       Parallelling the debian changelog handling, this program also takes
       care of NEWS.Debian files. If there is a debian/NEWS file, it is
       installed as usr/share/doc/package/NEWS.Debian. debian/package.NEWS
       files can also be used.

       If an upstream changelog file is specified as an option, then this
       upstream changelog will be installed as usr/share/doc/package/changelog
       in the package build directory. If the changelog is a html file (deter
       mined by file extension), it will be installed as usr/share/doc/pack
       age/changelog.html instead, and will be converted to plain text with
       html2text to generate usr/share/doc/package/changelog.

OPTIONS
       -k, --keep
	   Keep the original name of the upstream changelog. This will be
	   accomplished by installing the upstream changelog as "changelog",
	   and making a symlink from that to the original name of the
	   changelog file. This can be useful if the upstream changelog has an
	   unusual name, or if other documentation in the package refers to
	   the changelog file.

       upstream
	   Install this file as the upstream changelog.
