## NAME

dh\_pyppd - Compress the CUPS PPDs using pyppd.

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_pyppd** \[--archive-filename=archvname\] \[*debhelper options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**dh\_pyppd** is a debhelper program that compresses PPDs installed under /usr/share using pyppd, removes them from the binary package and adds the needed Depends to the package's ${misc:Depends}.

## OPTIONS

- **--archive-filename**=*archvname*

  Use the specified pyppd archive filename instead of deriving it from the binary package name (by dropping printer-driver-). This is usually not needed.
