Package: debhelper Version: 5.0.25 Severity: wishlist Hi,
consider a big source package building two binary packages, b1 and b2. Upstream Makefile installs everything to debian/b1, and the maintainer wishes to move a small number of files from b1 to b2. Currently, she can either use the deprecated dh_movefiles with the --sourcefile option, or use dh_install with explicit rm afterwards, or have upstream install to debian/tmp and use dh_install to move all files to b1 and b2 (which needs all files in b1 listed in b1.install). Please consider implementing a per-file --move option for dh_install, or a new dh_move script which uses package.move as input file with semantics similiar to dh_install.
