Trying to understand the debhelper, dh-exec  and dh-exec-subst
manpages. However, I just don't get it. All these tools seems to be 
about changing the actual location of certain files by substituting 
various variables with corresponding values.

However, my need is to actually *remove* some files from e. g., 
debian/install since they are not built on kfreebsd. How could I do this?


Cheers!
