<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>dh_gencontrol</B> is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating
control files, and installing them into the <I></I><FONT SIZE="-1"><I>DEBIAN</I></FONT><I></I> directory with the
proper permissions.
<P>
This program is merely a wrapper around <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+dpkg-gencontrol">dpkg-gencontrol</A></B>(1), which
calls it once for each package being acted on (plus related dbgsym
packages), and passes in some additional useful flags.
<P>
<B>Note</B> that if you use <B>dh_gencontrol</B>, you must also use
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+dh_builddeb">dh_builddeb</A></B>(1) to build the packages. Otherwise, your build may
fail to build as <B>dh_gencontrol</B> (via <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+dpkg-gencontrol">dpkg-gencontrol</A></B>(1)) declares
which packages are built. As debhelper automatically generates dbgsym
packages, it some times adds additional packages, which will be built
by <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+dh_builddeb">dh_builddeb</A></B>(1).
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1"><B>--</B> <I>params</I><DD>
Pass <I>params</I> to <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+dpkg-gencontrol">dpkg-gencontrol</A></B>(1).
<DT id="2"><B>-u</B><I>params</I>, <B>--dpkg-gencontrol-params=</B><I>params</I><DD>
This is another way to pass <I>params</I> to <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+dpkg-gencontrol">dpkg-gencontrol</A></B>(1).
It is deprecated; use <B>--</B> instead.
