Hi,
with compat level 7, dh_install will fall back to look for files in
debian/tmp. It's the only dh_install* command that behaves that way
though. Imo all[1] dh_install* commands should behave consistently and fall
back to look for files in debian/tmp, i.e. behave like dh_install
Thanks for considering.
Michael
[1] Well, the ones that allow to specify a file list, like e.g.
dh_installman, dh_installinfo, dh_installdocs or dh_installexamples

This feature was added in debhelper 10.6 when running the (still
experimental) compat 11 per:
"""
debhelper (10.6) unstable; urgency=medium
[...]
* dh_installdocs: In compat 11, automatically fall back to debian/tmp
if the files are not found in ".". Furthermore, accept the option
--sourcedir with the same meaning as dh_install.
* dh_installexamples: Ditto.
* dh_installinfo: Ditto.
* dh_installman: Ditto.
"""
Thanks,
~Niels
