.SH "NAME"
dh_usrlocal \- migrate usr/local directories to maintainer scripts
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBdh_usrlocal\fR [\fIdebhelper options\fR] [\fB\-n\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBdh_usrlocal\fR is a debhelper program that can be used for building packages
that will provide a subdirectory in \fI/usr/local\fR when installed.
.PP
It finds subdirectories of \fIusr/local\fR in the package build directory, and
removes them, replacing them with maintainer script snippets (unless \fB\-n\fR
is used) to create the directories at install time, and remove them when
the package is removed, in a manner compliant with Debian policy. These
snippets are inserted into the maintainer scripts by \fBdh_installdeb\fR. See
\&\fBdh_installdeb\fR\|(1) for an explanation of debhelper maintainer script
snippets.
.PP
When the \fI\s-1DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT\s0\fR environment variable is not (effectively)
\&\fIbinary-targets\fR, the directories in \fI/usr/local\fR will be handled as if
they were owned by root:root (see below).
.PP
When the \fI\s-1DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT\s0\fR environment variable has an effective value of
\&\fIbinary-targets\fR, the owners, groups and permissions will be
preserved with the sole exception where the directory is owned by root:root.
.PP
If a directory is owned by root:root, then ownership will be determined
at install time.  The ownership and permission bits will either be root:root
mode 0755 or root:staff mode 02775.  The actual choice depends on whether
the system has \fI/etc/staff\-group\-for\-usr\-local\fR (as documented in the Debian
Policy Manual §9.1.2 since version 4.1.4)
.SH "OPTIONS"

Note that this command is not idempotent. \fBdh_prep\fR\|(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.
