These maintainer scripts are installed into the DEBIAN directory.

shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.

These control files are installed into the DEBIAN directory.
- package.conffiles
-
This control file will be installed into the DEBIAN directory.
In v3 compatibility mode and higher, all files in the etc/ directory in a
package will automatically be flagged as conffiles by this program, so
there is no need to list them manually here.
- package.maintscript
-
Lines in this file correspond to dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) commands and
parameters. Any shell metacharacters will be escaped, so arbitrary shell
code cannot be inserted here. For example, a line such as "mv_conffile
/etc/oldconffile /etc/newconffile" will insert maintainer script snippets
into all maintainer scripts sufficient to move that conffile.
A versioned Pre-Dependency on dpkg is needed to use
dpkg-maintscript-helper(1). An appropriate Pre-Dependency is
set in ${misc:Pre-Depends} ; you should make sure to put that token into
an appropriate place in your debian/control file.
