install-xpi - installs a xpi file into a Debian package
install-xpi [options] xpi-file
install-xpi is a helper tool for packaging XUL extensions.
It installs the given xpi file into the correct directory and creates the
required links based on the data in the install.rdf file. It corrects the
file permissions unless --preserve-permissions is specified.
install-xpi will create a configuration file in /etc if the
XUL extension provides one or more preferences files in
defaults/preferences. The configuration file contains only a description
where to find the overridable preferences. debian/package.js is used as
configuration file instead if it exists. The placeholder @INSTALLDIR@ is
replaces by the actual installation directory. You can disable the creation
of a system configuration file with --disable-system-prefs.
