By passing an additional directory to run-parts, allow Debian and its derivatives to ship maintainer scripts in /usr while at the same time allowing the local admin to override or disable them by placing hooks of the same name in /etc. This adds support for the mechanism described in the UAPI Configuration Files Specification for kernel hooks. The same idea is also used by udev, systemd or modprobe for their config files. https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/configuration_files_specification/ This functionality relies on run-parts 5.21 or later. It is the responsibility of packages installing hooks into /usr/share/kernel to also declare a Depends: debianutils (>= 5.21). KDEB_HOOKDIR can be used to change the list of directories that is searched. By default, /etc/kernel and /usr/share/kernel are hook directories. Since the list of directories in KDEB_HOOKDIR is separated by spaces, the paths must not contain the space character themselves.
