NAME
dpkg-distaddfile - add entries to debian/files
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-distaddfile [option...] filename section priority
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-distaddfile adds an entry for a named file to debian/files.
It takes three non-option arguments, the filename and the section and
priority for the .changes file.
The filename should be specified relative to the directory where dpkg-
genchanges will expect to find the files, usually .., rather than being
a pathname relative to the current directory when dpkg-distaddfile is
run.
OPTIONS
-ffiles-list-file
Read or write the list of files to be uploaded here, rather than
using debian/files.
-?, --help
Show the usage message and exit.
--version
Show the version and exit.

Language Support, also known as internationalization (or i18n)
support (since dpkg 1.19.0). The accepted values are: 0 and 1
(default).
FILES
debian/files
