Helpful script for package maintenance

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@waterf.org>]

I got a little bit unnerved with permissions not being right, forgetting
to copy some configuration file to tmp/DEBIAN, having to manually generate
all those directories etc etc.

Here is a script that is called from debian/rules which is sensing what
kind of configuration files are in the debian directory and then installs
them correctly. Just put this script into the debian directory and call
this script from debian/rules with

	debian/debstd <packagename> <documentationfiles>

In the ppp package it is called like this:
        debian/debstd ppp debian/win95.ppp README.linux
        dpkg-shlibdeps pppd/pppd
        dpkg-gencontrol

In an ideal situation this will enable you to simply call the install
routine of the original package and then run debian/debstd to set up
all the debian scripts.

This script also will search for manpages in the package and install all
of them.
