.SH NAME
dh_installkpatches \- install kernel patch into package build directories
.SH SYNOPSIS

\fBdh_installkpatches\fR [ \fB\fIdebhelper options\fB\fR ]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBdh_installkpatches\fR is a debhelper script that reads
\fIdebian/package\&.kpatches\fR or
\fIdebian/package\&.kpatches.something\fR
files describing one or several revisions of a single kernel
patch, and installs them into the package build directory with
customized \fIapply\fR and \fIunpatch\fR
scripts.
.PP
It also sets the kpatch:Depends substitution
variable, that you should use in your control file to ensure that
generated material in your package get all their dependencies.
The use of kpatch:Depends requires a build-dependency
on version 0.99.3 or later of the \fBdh-kpatches\fR
package.  Using this variable is now required, since 0.99.16
(mostly because too many people forgot to set it).
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
This program does not take any particular option in addition
to the standard
\fBdebhelper\fR(1)
ones.
