[5a/5] deb-pkg: allow alternative hook scripts directory in .deb packages

Commit Message

Frans Pop April 1, 2009, 7:43 p.m. UTC

Hook scripts in the default directory /etc/kernel are also executed by
official Debian kernel packages as well as kernel packages created using
make-kpkg. Allow to specify an alternative hook scripts directory by
exporting the environment variable KDEB_HOOKDIR.
