NAME

       installdeb-aspell - debhelper-like utility for maintainers of aspell
       dictionary Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

        installdeb-aspell [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION

       installdeb-aspell is a debhelper like program that is responsible for
       installing appropriate debhelper snippets in an aspell dictionary
       package, according to the Debian Spell Dictionaries and Tools Policy.

       For more details, see
        /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common/dsdt-policy.txt.

       The actions executed by installdeb-aspell are the following:

       o   Maintainer Scripts

           installdeb-aspell installs the necessary scraps of code in the
           postinst and postrm scripts.

       o   Language info file

           installdeb-aspell also checks a file containing aspell dictionary
           information, called debian/info-aspell or
           debian/package.info-aspell.  If this file is successfully parsed,
           it is installed in the [tmpdir]/var/lib/dictionaries-common
           directory.

       o   Debconf files

           As opposed to installdeb-ispell and installdeb-wordlist, neither
           installdeb-aspell nor installdeb-hunspell does nothing related to
           debconf files, since both aspell and hunspell rely on the
           environment variable "LANG" for default dictionary selection
           instead of using symlinks set after a debconf question on
           dictionary installation. For that reason if you need to add debconf
           stuff with debhelper to your aspell or hunspell dictionary package
           do it in the usual way and call dh_installdebconf(1) as for any
           other package.

OPTIONS

       The usual dephelper(1) options are accepted.

NOTES

       This program is not part of debhelper, although it is intended to be
       used in aspell dictionary packages using debhelper in its building.
