description
apt-extracttemplates
will take one or more Debian package files as input and
write out (to a temporary directory) all associated config
scripts and template files. For each passed in package that
contains config scripts and templates, one line of output
will be generated in the format:
package version
template-file config-script
template-file
and config-script are written to the temporary
directory specified by the -t or
--tempdir
(APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir) directory, with filenames
of the form package.template.XXXX and
package.config.XXXX

line options may be set using the configuration file, the
