Why on Earth would you do that, instead of putting them into the package where you want them in the first place (e.g. with dh_install or just copying them into the right place in debian/rules)? > When I run the command : > > dpkg -L package > > /usr/share/doc/package > > it show all files in /usr/share/doc/package, but this > directory is only documetation.

You need to put the files in the right place in debian/rules when you build the package. I think maybe you ought to read the New Maintainer's Guide again. And please direct further questions like this to the debian-mentors list. regards, -- Kevin B.
