description

dh_gencontrol is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating control files, and installing them into the DEBIAN directory with the proper permissions.

This program is merely a wrapper around dpkg-gencontrol(1), which calls it once for each package being acted on, and passes in some additional useful flags.

options

-- params

Pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1).

-uparams, --dpkg-gencontrol-params=params

This is another way to pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1). It is deprecated; use -- instead.
