Done, but not uploaded yet.

Sorry, I disagree here.
The problem is I'm not only moving things around, I'm also renaming
files and getting rid of empty dirs left behind.
man dh_install explicitely states that
dh_install cannot rename files or directories, it can only install
them with the names they already have into wherever you want in
the package build tree.
Thus, if use dh_install for this, I'd still have to leave commands to
rename, completely negating the point of using it, as I'd still have
pretty much the same clutter in debian/rules *and* I'd split the
handling of this files over several places.
Should I upload with just the change from (1)?
