Hello,
It is not installed by dh_install:
| dh_auto_install
| [...]
| running install_scripts
| Installing kiwi-ng script to /dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian/debian/kiwi/usr/bin
| Installing kiwicompat script to /dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian/debian/kiwi/usr/bin
| make[1]: Leaving directory '/dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian'
| debian/rules override_dh_install
| make[1]: Entering directory '/dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian'
| dh_install -Xkiwicompat
Since there is only a single binary package dh_auto_install installs
directly to debian/kiwi/
(sid)ametzler@argenau:/dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian$ dh_auto_install --no-act --verbo
se
make -j1 install DESTDIR=/dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian/debian/kiwi AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR=no "INSTALL=install --strip-program=true"
Since you are already overriding dh_auto_install you could simply rm the
offending file there.
