dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for
registering kernel modules.
Files named debian/package.modules will be installed as
etc/modutils/package in the package build directory. This is for use by
modutils. Files named debian/package.modprobe will be installed in
etc/modprobe.d/package in the package build directory, to be used by
module-init-tools's version of modprobe.
Kernel modules are searched for in the package build directory and if
found, postinst and postrm commands are automatically generated to
run depmod and register the modules when the package is installed.
These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb.
See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.
OPTIONS
-n, --noscripts
Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.
--name=name
When this parameter is used, dh_installmodules looks for and
installs files named debian/package.name.modules and
debian/package.name.modprobe instead of the usual
debian/package.modules and debian/package.modprobe
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. ``dh_clean -k'' should be called
between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
