Given that dh-exec is basically unmaintained, I'm a bit reluctant to
switch to it.
The dh-exec package has a maintainer again. (I think this was mentioned
on IRC as well - repeating here for completeness)
Could you raise this with Niels/debhelper: I do think we need better
support for build profiles in dh_install.
Personally, I think dh-exec does a great job at providing filters (among
other features) to debhelper configuration files and I am not currently
not considering to absorbing them into debhelper itself.
Thanks,
