NAME         top

       dh_installemacsen - register an Emacs add on package

SYNOPSIS         top

       dh_installemacsen [debhelper options] [-n] [--priority=n]
       [--flavor=foo]

DESCRIPTION         top

       dh_installemacsen is a debhelper program that is responsible for
       installing files used by the Debian emacsen-common package into
       package build directories.

       It also automatically generates the preinst postinst and prerm
       commands needed to register a package as an Emacs add on package.
       The commands are added to the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb.
       See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.

FILES         top

       debian/package.emacsen-compat
           Installed into usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/compat/package
           in the package build directory.

       debian/package.emacsen-install

       debian/package.emacsen-startup
           Installed into etc/emacs/site-start.d/50package.el in the
           package build directory. Use --priority to use a different
           priority than 50.

OPTIONS         top

       -n, --no-scripts
           Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

       --priority=n

NOTES         top

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be
       called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may
       cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to
       maintainer scripts.
