NAME         top

       dh_gencontrol - generate and install control file

SYNOPSIS         top

       dh_computeautosubstvars [debhelper options] [-- params]

DESCRIPTION         top

       dh_computeautosubstvars is a debhelper program that is responsible
       for computing substvars relevant to most packages. It needs to be
       run before dh_gencontrol but after all the content has been added
       into the package staging directory (debian/package/).

       Note that this command generally assumes compat 14 or later where
       dh_gencontrol will apply relationship substvars automatically. It
       can be used in older compat levels but the substvars will not be
       used automatically in that case.

OPTIONS         top

       This helper only accepts standard debhelper options. Please refer
       to debhelper(7) for these.
