NAME
       xcontrol - preprocessor for debian/control files

SYNOPSIS
       xcontrol build
       xcontrol check

DESCRIPTION
       xcontrol rewrites the debian/xcontrol file in a Debian source package into a policy-compliant debian/control file, omitting any information
       that cannot be expressed properly. This allows the maintainer to easily synchronize debian/control to the more verbose debian/xcontrol.

OPTIONS
       Currently, only two subcommands are allowed:

       build  Read debian/xcontrol, output policy-compliant version on stdout.

       check  Verify whether debian/control is up to date.

SEE ALSO
       deb-control(5).
