## NAME
       deb-src-files - Debian distribute files format

## SYNOPSIS
### debian/files

## DESCRIPTION
       This file contains the list of artifacts that are to be distributed via the **.changes** control
       file.

       The _debian/files_ file has a simple whitespace-delimited format.

           _filename_ _section_ _priority_ [ _keyword=value..._  ]

       _filename_ is the name of the artifact to distribute.

       _section_ and _priority_ correspond to the respective control fields available in the .deb.  The
       allowed values are specific to each distribution archive.

       _keyword=value..._  corresponds to an optional whitespace-delimited list of attributes for this
       entry.  The only currently supported keyword is **automatic** with value **yes**, to mark
       automatically generated files.

## NOTES
       This file is not intended to be modified directly, please use one of **dpkg-gencontrol** or **dpkg-**
