NAME

       dh_package_notes - Add package metadata to ELF header

SYNOPSIS

       dh_package_notes

DESCRIPTION

       dh_package_notes is a debhelper program that creates a linker script to include package metadata in ELF
       binaries built by packages.

       The package metadata specification for ELF binaries can be found at
       <https://systemd.io/COREDUMP_PACKAGE_METADATA/>.

       dh_package_notes creates a linker script in a fixed location at debian/.debhelper/notes.ld with the
       package type set to deb, the package name and version set to the source package name and version
       respectively, and the os and osVersion fields set to the values of the ID and VERSION_ID fields found in
       /etc/os-release. Simply add dh-sequence-package-notes to the Build-Depends or add --with package_notes to
       the dh $@ call to make this happen.

       The package using dh_package_notes also needs to manually set in debian/rules export
       DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wl,-dT,debian/.debhelper/notes.ld as it is not possible to do so from a
       debhelper addon.
