It is. But many users miss it and then the package FTBFS because of the
non-existing target directory. However, install is only useful, if you
have to rename the source or if you have to set special permissions, not
handled by dh_fixperms. I often miss the possibility to use this
dehelper script with:
dh_fixperms $target $permissions
IMHO this would reduce the necessity to use chmod or install in
debian/rules.
