I was simply and alwys looking into /usr/share/doc/dpkg/triggers.txt.gz,
that is my reference. And there was only mentioned a triggers file, but
nothing about the actual implementation (package.triggers for defining
triggers for a single binary package in a source package with more
binary packages).
I would suggest that the man page of
deb-triggers
mentions that:
- trigger files can be made package specific (like all others) using
debhelper and package.triggers
- that dh_installdeb is the responsible dh call
Best wishes
