    <p>Greetings,</p>
    <p>In the Debian New Maintainers' Guide at<br>

    <a id="dirs">says "Files listed in an <code class="filename">install</code>
      file don't need their
      directories created first." Yet many font packages have a
      debian/dirs file, is that still needed even if the debian/install
      file creates the needed directories?<br>
      <br>
      Thanks, Bobby<br>
