DH_INSTALLINITRAMFS(1)             Debhelper            DH_INSTALLINITRAMFS(1)

NAME
       dh_installinitramfs - install initramfs hooks and setup maintscripts

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installinitramfs [debhelperĀ options] [-n]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installinitramfs is a debhelper program that is responsible for
       installing Debian package provided initramfs hooks.

       If dh_installinitramfs installs or detects one or more initramfs hooks
       in the package, then it also automatically generates the noawait
       trigger update-initframfs command needed to interface with the Debian
       initramfs system.  This trigger is inserted into the packaging by
       dh_installdeb(1).

FILES
       debian/package.initramfs-hook
           Assumed to be an initramfs hook that will be installed into
           usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/package in the package build
           directory. See HOOK SCRIPTS in initramfs-tools(8) for more
           information about initramfs hooks.

OPTIONS
       -n, --no-scripts
           Do not add the update-initramfs trigger even if it seems like the
           package might need it.  The option is called --no-scripts for
           historical reasons as dh_installinitramfs would previously generate
           maintainer scripts that called update-initramfs -u.

           Use this option, if you need to interface with the update-initramfs
           system that is not satisfied by the noawait trigger (e.g. because
           you need the extra guarantees and head-aches of a await trigger).

NOTES
       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
       between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
       instances of the same text to be added to triggers file.
