NAME

       dh_builddeb - build debian binary packages

SYNOPSIS

       dh_builddeb [debhelperoptions] [--destdir=directory] [--filename=name]
       [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_builddeb simply calls dpkg-deb(1) to build a debian package or
       packages.

OPTIONS

       --destdir=directory
           Use this if you want the generated .deb files to be put in a
           directory other than the default of ".."

       --filename=name
           Use this if you want to force the generated .deb file to have a
           particular file name. Does not work well if more than one .deb is
           generated!

       -- params
           Pass params to dpkg-deb(1) when it is used to build the package.

       -uparams
           This is another way to pass params to dpkg-deb(1).  It is
           deprecated; use -- instead.
