NAME
       dh_installkpatches - install kernel patch into package build directories

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installkpatches [ debhelper options ]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installkpatches  is  a  debhelper script that reads debian/package.kpatches or debian/package.kpatches.something files describing one or
       several revisions of a single kernel patch, and installs them into the package build directory with customized apply and unpatch scripts.

       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 dh-kpatches
       package.  Using this variable is now required, since 0.99.16 (mostly because too many people forgot to set it).

OPTIONS
       This program does not take any particular option in addition to the standard debhelper(1) ones.

SEE ALSO
       debhelper(1), make-kpkg(1).
