## FILES

- debian/*package*.bug-script

  This is the script to be run by the bug reporting program for generating a bug report template. This file is installed as *usr/share/bug/package* in the package build directory if no other types of bug reporting customization files are going to be installed for the package in question. Otherwise, this file is installed as *usr/share/bug/package/script*. Finally, the installed script is given execute permissions.

  It is the bug control file containing some directions for the bug reporting tool. This file is installed as *usr/share/bug/package/control* in the package build directory.

- debian/*package*.bug-presubj

  The contents of this file are displayed to the user by the bug reporting tool before allowing the user to write a bug report on the package to the Debian Bug Tracking System. This file is installed as *usr/share/bug/package/presubj* in the package build directory.

## OPTIONS

- **-A**, **--all**

  Install *debian/bug-\** files to ALL packages acted on when respective *debian/package.bug-\** files do not exist. Normally, *debian/bug-\** will be installed to the first package only.
