NAME
       dh_usrlocal - migrate usr/local directories to maintainer scripts

SYNOPSIS
       dh_usrlocal [debhelper options] [-n]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_usrlocal is a debhelper program that can be used for building pack
       ages that will provide a subdirectory in /usr/local when installed.

       It finds subdirectories of usr/local in the package build directory,
       and removes them, replacing them with maintainer script snippets
       (unless -n is used) to create the directories at install time, and
       remove them when the package is removed, in a manner compliant with
       Debian policy. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of Debhelper
       maintainer script snippets.

       If the directories found in the build tree have unusual owners, groups,
       or permissions, then those values will be preserved in the directories
       made by the postinst script. However, as a special exception, if a
       directory is owned by root.root, it will be treated as if it is owned
       by root.staff and is mode 2775. This is useful, since that is the group
       and mode policy recommends for directories in /usr/local.

OPTIONS
       -n, --noscripts
	   Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

NOTES
       Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be
       called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause
       multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

CONFORMS TO
       Debian policy, version 2.2
