+#
+# Generates the per-module portion of the Debian build configuration from each
+# module's metadata, so adding or changing a module never requires touching
+# debian/rules by hand.
+#
+# A module is any directory under src/ that contains a files/ and/or patches/
+# subdirectory (so src/Scripts/, which has neither, is ignored). The module's
+# directory name is its canonical mod key (matches the [modules] keys in
+# pve-mod.conf and the install path usr/lib/pve-mod/patches/<mod>/).
+#
+# Usage:
+#   gen-rules.sh            Emit dpkg install lines (tab-indented, no header).
+#                           Append to debian/rules' override_dh_install recipe:
+#                               bash src/gen-rules.sh >> debian/rules

+# For each module it emits, in order:
+#   1. files/files.list  -> install each mapped file at its destination.
+#                           Format: <source> <destination> [permission]
+#                           (permission defaults to 644; source is relative to
+#                           the module's files/ directory).
+#   2. patches/*         -> every file under patches/ recursively, including
