  44    <para><command>apt-extracttemplates</command> will take one or more Debian package files
  45    as input and write out (to a temporary directory) all associated config
  46    scripts and template files. For each passed in package that contains
  47    config scripts and templates, one line of output will be generated
  48    in the format:</para>
  49    <para>package version template-file config-script</para>
  50    <para>template-file and config-script are written to the temporary directory
  51    specified by the -t or --tempdir (<literal>APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir</literal>)
  52    directory, with filenames of the form <filename>package.template.XXXX</filename> and
  53    <filename>package.config.XXXX</filename></para>
