  You might try the man pages and some other packages. Beside the man
pages for each debhelper program there is a debhelper man page.
  I didn't understand what you were trying to accomplish with the init
example. In general

    dh_installinit -p foo -n
    dh_installinit -p bar -some_option

should work. Could it be that you were looking for the 

    -Xitem, --exclude=item 
	
switch?
