Dear developers,
I'm writing a debhelper script for zope packaging and I need to
add very similar config script to the packages created with it.
Actually, I'm using a common package (zope-common) with common
templates which I'm using with db_register and db_subst, and a
debhelper package (dh-zope) which provides dh_installzopeinstance
and some autoscripts.

Everything works well, but I can't have debian/config.debhelper
handled neither by dh_installdeb or dh_installdebconf. The former
only handles {pre,post}{inst,rm}.debhelper and the latter just
copy debian/config into $tmp/DEBIAN/config.

Why #DEBHELPER# substitution isn't implemented for config file?
How can I handle this?

Thanks for your answers,

Fabio Tranchitella

Because I had not seen a need for it yet.

File a wishlist bug report. It's not particularly hard to write the
necessary patches, although not trivial enough for me to do before
replying to this email.
