NAME
dh_prep - perform cleanups in preparation for building a binary package
SYNOPSIS
dh_prep [debhelperoptions] [-Xitem]
DESCRIPTION
dh_prep is a debhelper program that performs some file cleanups in
preparation for building a binary package. (This is what dh_clean -k
used to do.) It removes the package build directories, debian/tmp, and
some temp files that are generated when building a binary package.
It is typically run at the top of the binary-arch and binary-indep
targets, or at the top of a target such as install that they depend on.
OPTIONS
-Xitem --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from
being deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use
this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
SEE ALSO
