If I understand your intent, you want the package to "make install" to
./debian/tmp/, and then you want *.dirs and *.files to copy them from
that location to ./debian/package/, where they will be installed into
the package. Right?
Firstly, you should know that ./debian/tmp/ was the install directory
for old versions of debhelper. Nowadays its ./debian/$package/. It
shoulds like this is working the way it should be, but you should
check that ./debian/dh_compat exists and contains a "4".
Then you should make sure that ./debian/rules has dh_install
uncommented; thats the program that accepts as input. Finally, the
name of the input files are "*.install" and not "*.files" (which seems
to be for old program dh_movefiles).
