I guess I should say, for the sake of completeness, that you *can* make dh_installdirs do this with the -P flag. But I would find that confusing; I think an explicit install -d is easier to understand. And, regardless, dh_installdirs isn't normally run before dh_auto_install, so you'd still need an override if you're using dh. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
