Package: dh-elpa
Version: 1.13

Hi,

when trying to switch the package tpp (which also ships "tpp-mode.el" to
edit tpp files), dh_elpa expects a file named
debian/.debhelper/elpa/tpp.desc despite debian/elpa lists
"contrib/tpp-mode.el".

The content of the debian/elpa file seems to be ignored when calculating
the path to the .desc file.

Error message:

dh_elpa
        Using elpa package name tpp
        emacs -batch -Q -l package --eval "(add-to-list 'package-directory-list \"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa\")" --eval "(add-to-list 'package-directory-list \"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src\")" -f package-initialize -l dh-elpa.el -f dhelpa-batch-install-file debian/tpp//usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src contrib/tpp-mode.el /home/abe/tpp/tpp/debian/.debhelper/elpa 1533407657

Existing file:

→ ls -l debian/.debhelper/elpa/*.desc
-rw-r--r-- 1 abe abe 54 Aug  5 02:20 debian/.debhelper/elpa/tpp-mode.desc

Since this is not primarily an emacs mode package but only ships an
emacs mode as an add-on, the package is not named elpa-tpp-mode or
tpp-mode but just tpp.

Let's do that. Bugs can, of course, always be reopened…

Ah, nice work. Thank you for this.
