Hi, I have solved my problem of empty .debs in a library package: in the debian/rules file, I had to change the install command from
$(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp to read $(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/usr so that dh_movefiles could move the files into debian/<packagename>/usr/ since they should be installed in /usr/ at the end, as was correctly indicated in the debian/<packagename>.files files. Since debian/rules and debian/<packagename>.files were both created by dpkg-buildpackage (and I did not change them in the first place), one should expect that such manual fixing is not needed - could this be a bug?
